ABSTRACT:
A torque converter provided with a vibration damper includes an input member, an pump connected to the input member, a turbine located between the pump and the input member, a lock-up clutch disk frictionally engagable with the input member, an output shaft connected to the turbine and the lock-up clutch disk, and a damper mechanism disposed between the radially outer portions of the turbine and the lock-up clutch disk. The damper mechanism includes a damper weight rotatably and concentrically arranged with respect to the input member and the output shaft, a centrifugal clutch including an output member, a centrifugal weight adapted to be frictionally engaged with the output member by a centrifugal force and a weight support fixed to the turbine and radially movably supporting the centrifugal weight, and a damper spring circumferentially connecting the output member of the centrifugal clutch to the damper weight.
