Abstract:
A viscous clutch ( 20; 120; 220 ) includes an input member ( 24; 126; 224 ), an output member ( 26; 124; 226 ), a working chamber ( 38; 138; 238 ), a reservoir ( 36; 136; 236; 504; 604; 704; 804; 904; 1004; 1104 ) to hold a supply of a shear fluid, an outlet ( 36 - 2; 182; 236 - 2; 512; 612; 712; 812; 912; 1012; 1112 ), a return bore ( 26 - 2; 124 B;  226 - 2 ), an accumulator ( 72; 502; 602; 702; 802; 902; 1002; 1102 ), and a first wall ( 70 - 1; 170; 270; 506; 606; 706; 806; 906; 1006; 1106 ) having an arcuate segment ( 70 - 1 A;  506 B;  606 B;  706 B;  806 B;  906 B;  1006 B;  1106 B). The reservoir is connected to the working chamber by a fluid circuit, along which the outlet passes the shear fluid from the reservoir to the working chamber and the return bore returns the shear fluid pumped out of the working chamber to the accumulator. The accumulator is arranged in series with the reservoir in the fluid circuit. The first wall is positioned within the reservoir to separate a first portion from a second portion.

Claim (Index 50):
The viscous clutch of  claim 47 , wherein the first end projection includes a substantially planar portion joined to the arcuate segment by a radiused corner that protrudes radially inward from the arcuate segment.
