Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007220877A1] The present invention broadly comprises a stator and clutch assembly for a torque converter including first and second halves for a stator, each formed from first and second single pieces. Blades for the stator are disposed within respective annuli for the first and second halves. The assembly also includes a one-way clutch. The first and second halves have inner circumferential portions configured to form a portion of the clutch. The assembly includes an axially displaceable plate connected to a hub. The plate and a circumferential portion are operatively arranged to form a portion of the clutch. In some aspects, the plate and the circumferential portion are arranged to lockingly engage and the assembly includes a displacement element arranged to urge the plate toward the circumferential portion. In some aspects, the plate and hub are formed from a single piece or the plate is axially displaceable with respect to the hub.
