ABSTRACT:
A fluid coupling device is disclosed of the type including an output coupling assembly (13) which defines a fluid operating chamber (37) and a fluid reservoir chamber (41). Rotatably disposed within the operating chamber is an input coupling member (11), including a disc-like portion (31), which defines rearward lands (61) and forward lands (65). The lands defined by the input coupling member cooperate with the lands (63 and 67) defined by the output coupling assembly to define rearward and forward shear spaces, operable to transmit torque from the input member to the output assembly. The disc-like portion defines a plurality of fluid passages (71) which communicate between the inner and outer radial peripheries of the disc-like portion, and also communicate with both the forward and rearward shear spaces. During filling, fluid flows radially outward through the fluid passages, and directly into the shear spaces, to substantially reduce the response time of the coupling device.
