Patent ID: 8720658

Claim:
A starting device comprising: a lock-up clutch mechanism that mechanically transfers power from a motor to an input shaft of a transmission; a fluid coupling including a turbine runner and a pump impeller to transfer power from the motor to the input shaft via a fluid; a spring damper including a spring, a power transfer portion that transfers power from an output portion of the lock-up clutch mechanism to the spring, and a power output portion that transfers power of the spring to the input shaft; and a pendulum damper including a pendulum and a pendulum power transfer portion that transfers power from the power output portion of the spring damper to the pendulum, wherein the output portion of the lock-up clutch mechanism, the pendulum damper, the spring damper, and the fluid coupling are arranged sequentially in this order from the motor in an axial direction, and the output portion of the lock-up clutch mechanism and the power transfer portion of the spring damper are connected to each other on an outer circumferential side of the pendulum damper, and the power output portion of the spring damper and the pendulum power transfer portion are connected to each other on an inner circumferential side of the pendulum.
