ABSTRACT:
A stator disposed between an impeller and a turbine of a torque converter including: an annular shell; an annular core disposed radially outside the shell; and a plurality of stator blades connecting the shell and the core. Each blade comprises a leading edge adjacent to the turbine, a trailing edge adjacent to the impeller, a streamlined concave surface extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and substantially facing the turbine, and a streamlined convex surface extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and substantially facing the impeller. A cross-sectional area of the stator blade increases as it approaches the shell. A predetermined gap is formed between the neighboring stator blades such that the neighboring stator blades do not overlap with one another.
