ABSTRACT:
A hydrokinetic torque converter equipped with a bridging or lockup clutch. The bridging or lockup clutch has a piston and a friction plate between the piston and the converter housing. For the non-rotating connection of the piston, there is a carrier plate or hub disc, which carrier plate or hub disc is connected to the piston by means of tangential leaf springs. The carrier plate or hub disc is attached, by means of gear teeth, in a non-rotating fashion to a hub of the converter housing, such that there is no play between the hub disc and the hub in the axial direction, the circumferential direction, and the radial direction. The non-rotating connection between the hub disc and the hub can be accomplished by a deformation process.
