ABSTRACT:
In the one-way clutch of a torque converter, an outer race (30 in FIG. 10A) which is assembled on the inner circumferential side of a stator so as to be unrotatable includes a first side face (31) which is provided with first teeth (32). An inner race (40) which is mounted on a stationary shaft so as to be unrotatable includes a second side face (41) which is opposite to the first side face (31) and which is provided with second teeth (42). With the rotation of the outer race (30), the first teeth (32) and the second teeth (42) are engaged and disengaged by the functions of an intermediate member (50) which moves along inclined planes (33) formed in the first side face (31). Thus, shock noise are prevented during the release of the one-way clutch.
