Abstract:
1. A vehicle power transmission device having a hydraulic power transmission device and a power transmission mechanism in a power transmission path between an engine and drive wheels, the hydraulic power transmission device including an input-side rotating member disposed with a plurality of pump blades and an output-side rotating member disposed with a plurality of turbine blades receiving a fluid flow from the pump blades, the power transmission mechanism transmitting power input to an input shaft from the hydraulic power transmission device to a subsequent stage, the output-side rotating member being coupled by relatively non-rotatable fitting to the input shaft on the power transmission mechanism side relative to the pump blades and the turbine blades in an axial center direction of the hydraulic power transmission device, the hydraulic power transmission device being a torque converter having a stator coupled via a one way clutch to a tubular stator shaft concentric with the input shaft and having a diameter larger than the input shaft, a tubular coupling shaft having a diameter larger than the input shaft being disposed to project from an inner circumferential edge portion of an inner race of the one way clutch in the axial center direction, and the stator shaft being coupled by relatively non-rotatable fitting to the tubular coupling shaft of the inner race at a position partially or entirely overlapping with a coupling portion of the output-side rotating member to the input shaft when viewed in the direction orthogonal to the axial center.
