Abstract
The invention is concerned with a hydrokinetic device comprising a locking assembly adapted to provide a direct mechanical connection between its input element and its output element. According to the invention, this locking assembly comprises between a flange forming a piston and a counter flange, two discs each engaged with a hub with predetermined play, with, for the configuration of the assembly at rest, an alternate disposition in which one of the discs abuts the hub circumferentially in one circumferentially in the opposite circumferential direction. Such an arrangement is particularly applicable to an automobile transmission.
