Patent ID: 8322501

Claim:
A force transmission device ( 1 ) comprising: an input (E) and an output (A); a hydrodynamic component ( 3 ) disposed between the input (E) and the output (A), comprising at least a pump shell (P) and a turbine shell (T), forming an operating cavity ( 13 ) in combination, and comprising an actuatable clutch device ( 4 ) for at least partially bridging the hydrodynamic component ( 3 ), comprising a first clutch component ( 7 ) connected to the input (E) and a second clutch component ( 8 ) at least indirectly connected to the output (A), which can be brought into operative engagement with one another through an actuation device ( 9 ); a vibration damper ( 22 ), disposed at least subsequent to the actuatable clutch device in a force flow; a housing ( 17 ), coupled with the input (E) or with an element connected non-rotatably with said input, and coupled with the pump shell (P), which encloses the actuatable clutch device ( 4 ) and the vibration damper ( 22 ) and forms an intermediary cavity ( 15 ); and, means ( 40 ) for separating a channel and/or a first chamber ( 19 ) from the intermediary cavity ( 15 ) for generating an oriented flow through the actuatable clutch device ( 4 ), wherein: the chamber ( 19 ) is formed by the actuation device ( 9 ) and by a wall ( 41 ) disposed pressure tight between the second clutch component ( 8 ) and the output (A), or by an element connected non-rotatably with said output; the wall ( 41 ) is formed by a seal plate ( 36 ), which can be connected non-rotatably with the second clutch component ( 8 ) or with the damper input ( 23 ); and, coupling of the seal element ( 36 ) with the second clutch component ( 8 ) is performed on a common diameter with a connection of the second clutch component ( 8 ) with the damper input ( 23 ), while using the same connection elements.
