Abstract
A torque converterwith a lock-up deviceis provided to improve damping performance while suppressing an increase in the axial dimension. A torusof the torque converterincludes an impellera turbineand statorThe torushas a shape such that a radial direction dimension is longer than an axial dimension thereof, and a longitudinal axis tis inclined away from a straight line P perpendicular to a rotational axis such that a radially outer portion of the longitudinal axis tis closer toward the engine than a radially inner portion thereof. The torsion springsare located adjacent on the front cover side of a radially inner portion of the torus
