Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lock-up device for a fluid coupling suppresses vibration caused by coil springs. The lock-up device includes an input rotation member, an output rotation member, a plurality of sets of first elastic members, and a float member. The plurality of sets of first elastic members are compressed in a rotational direction by the relative rotation between the input rotation member and the output rotation member. The float member float member is configured to restrict movement of the plurality of sets of first elastic members in a radial direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lock-up device for a fluid coupling for transmitting torque and absorbing and damping torsional vibration, the lock-up device for the fluid coupling comprising: an input rotation member; an output rotation member; a plurality of sets of first elastic members compressed in a rotational direction by the relative rotation between the input rotation member and the output rotation member; and a float member configured to restrict movement of the first ela…
