Abstract
A power transmitting device that includes a shaft, a friction clutch, a lubricant passage and an oil spout. The friction clutch defines a lubricant chamber. The lubricant passage is disposed between the shaft and the lubricant chamber and has a passage outlet that intersects the lubricant chamber. The oil spout is received in the lubricant chamber and extends along a longitudinal axis of the shaft such that the oil spout is disposed about the lubricant passage and a portion of a hub portion of the friction clutch. The oil spout diverges radially outwardly from the hub portion with increasing distance from the lubricant passage in a direction toward an outlet of the oil spout.
