Patent ID: 8042667

Claim:
A hydrodynamic torque converter device for a motor vehicle drive train comprising: a torsion vibration damper comprising: a rotation axis; a first energy accumulator means, the first energy accumulator means including at least one first energy accumulator having a front face and an input component including at least one ear having a free end and a non-free end; and, a second energy accumulator means including at least one second energy accumulator; at least one intermediary component arranged between, and serially connected with, the first energy accumulator means and the second energy accumulator means; a converter torus comprising: a pump shell; a turbine shell including an outer turbine dish non-rotatably connected to the at least one intermediary component; and, a stator shell; and, a converter lockup clutch having at least a closed position, wherein the converter lockup clutch, the first energy accumulator means, the at least one intermediary component, and the second energy accumulator means are serially connected, wherein the outer turbine dish is non-rotatably connected to the intermediary component, wherein the input component is arranged to transfer torque through the converter lockup clutch, when the converter lockup clutch is in the closed position, for loading the first energy accumulator means, and wherein the non-free end of the at least one ear is disposed radially within the free end, with reference to the radial direction of the rotation axis, wherein a press component is arranged for loading the lockup clutch and for closing the lockup clutch, the press component and the input component of the first energy accumulator means being formed of a single piece of material, the input component extending from an outer periphery of the press component.
