Abstract:
A torque converter includes a housing, and a fluid-operated power transmitting portion and a vibration damping device which are accommodated within the housing and which are disposed around an axis such that the vibration damping device is located adjacent to the fluid-operated power transmitting portion in a direction of the axis, the torque converter further includes a space occupying member which occupies a part of a space formed within the housing and between the fluid-operated power transmitting portion and the vibration damping device. The space occupying member comprises a wall surface facing the fluid-operated power transmitting portion in the direction of the axis. A distance in the direction of the axis between a part of the wall surface and the fluid-operated power transmitting portion is smaller than a distance in the direction of the axis between the part of the wall surface and the vibration damping device.

Claim (Index 9):
The torque converter according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid-operated power transmitting portion includes a pump impeller, and a turbine runner which is disposed so as to face the pump impeller in the direction of the axis such that the turbine runner is rotatable relative to the pump impeller,\n and wherein the vibration damping device includes a plurality of mass bodies, and a disc member which is rotated together with the turbine runner, and further wherein the disc member has guide holes, and each of the mass bodies is held in engagement with a corresponding one of the guide holes such that each mass body can be oscillated within the corresponding guide hole in a circumferential direction of the disc member.
