Abstract
A rotary power transmission device including a hydraulic torque converter which transmits rotary power between coaxial power input and power output shafts, and a lock up clutch system which also transmits rotary power between the power input and power output shafts, wherein the lock up clutch system includes a rotary shock absorber including a disk shaped plate element and two ring shaped plate elements cooperating with an outer peripheral portion of the disk shaped plate element in an axially superposed manner so as to provide a rotationally cushioning assembly positioned in an annular space formed adjacent an outer peripheral portion of the turbine of the hydraulic torque converter, while the radially inner portion of the disk shaped plate element is rotationally connected to the power output shaft in parallel with and separately from the turbine, wherein the disk shaped plate is formed with through openings along a radially intermediate annular region thereof for transmitting fluid pressures therethrough.
