PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid joint which enables compactification without changing a fluid supply direction during lock-up.SOLUTION: A torque converter 100 includes: a front cover 1; an impeller 2; an output shaft member 3; a turbine 4; and a clutch 5. The turbine 4 has: a turbine shell 41; a turbine blade 42; a connection part 43; and a piston part 44. The turbine shell 41 is supported by the output shaft member 3. The turbine shell 41 may slide on the output shaft member 3 in an axial direction. The connection part 43 extends from the turbine shell 41 to the front cover 1. The piston part 44 extends from the connection part 43 in a radial direction. The clutch 5 is disposed between the piston part 44 and the front cover 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
