Abstract:
A torque converter including an axis of rotation and a flange rotatable about the axis of rotation is disclosed. The torque converter includes a turbine shell independently rotatable about the axis of rotation relative to the flange. A first plate, disposed between the flange and the turbine shell, may be fixed to the turbine shell. A second plate, disposed between the flange and the turbine shell, may be radially outward relative to the first plate. The torque converter further includes a cover having an inner surface and a third plate disposed between the flange and the cover. The first plate may include at least one ramp protruding in an axial direction toward the flange, wherein the ramp is rotatably engageable with the flange for urging the flange axially in a direction toward the cover, and for transmitting an axial force for urging a clutch to engage.

Claim (Index 1):
A torque converter comprising:\n an axis of rotation; a flange rotatable about the axis of rotation; a turbine shell independently rotatable about the axis of rotation relative to the flange; a first plate, disposed between the flange and the turbine shell, fixed to the turbine shell; a second plate, disposed between the flange and the turbine shell, radially outward relative to the first plate; a cover having an inner surface; a third plate, disposed between the flange and the cover; at least one resilient element, at least partially disposed axially between the second and third plates and radially outward relative to the first plate, for transmitting a torque force between the flange and the second and third plates; a first axial gap, disposed between the flange and the second plate, having a first width; a second axial gap, disposed between the flange and the third plate, having a second width; and the first plate having at least one ramp protruding in an axial direction toward the flange, the ramp rotatably engageable with the flange for urging the flange axially in a direction toward the cover, and for transmitting an axial force for urging a clutch to engage.
