Rotary connection of the motor shaft
with the torque converter one
Motor vehicle drive

The invention relates to a non-rotatable connection between a motor shaft and the torque converter of a motor vehicle drive. Such connections are made by a drive plate on the motor shaft over the outer edge of this drive plate with the housing cover of the torque converter. The drive plate must be screwed on near the motor shaft by means of screw connections
and also a screw connection or the like with the
Torque converters are produced. During assembly, the screws must be precisely adjusted to the associated screw holes. Besides, they are
Even with the usual narrow construction, screws are difficult to access and not easy to handle. Both operations require precise work by trained personnel. Instead of these connections, the invention aims to create a connection that is easier to use and quicker to carry out.

According to the invention, this task is achieved by taking along sheet, which is bowl-shaped at its circular circumferential edge, has semi-cylindrical bends open towards the motor shaft and, as a result, that the housing cover same shell shape, but with delimiting edges on the Has end faces provided and semicylindrical bends open towards the circumferential edge of the housing cover and that Matching elastic rollers are inserted into the semi-cylindrical shells of the housing cover, over which they are not framed Surface, the drive plate can be pushed on, so that a non-rotatable connection with axial play between the motor shaft and Torque converter arises.

In the context of the invention, the elastic rollers made of plastic and can be connected to one another by a web, whereby they form a roller ring. Furthermore, the beginning and the end of the roller assembly can be linked to one another be executed. The link is expediently a divided roller with a cylindrical bolt on the a tensioning eye can be pressed open in such a way that, in the linked state, it is externally connected to the other roles form the same role. A push button connection can also be used.

The invention is ^as: explained, the example of Figure 1 in more detail to JT.. 1 and la shows a section through the drive plate and part of the torque converter.

Fig. 2 and 3 show a roller ring with connectable Ends, Fig. 4 and 5 an enlarged view of the beginning and end link of Figs. 2 and 3,

The drive plate 1 is firmly connected to a motor shaft, not shown, via a rivet connection. This Driving plate has on its circular circumference according to Fig. La shell-shaped, open towards the motor shaft, semi-cylindrical bends 2, on the housing cover 3 are identically shaped, but provided with wheels 4, shell-shaped Bends 5 provided, which are open to the extent are and in which the rollers 6 are inserted. In FIGS. 1 and 1 a, the drive plate 1 is pushed over the rollers 6 and together with them and the housing cover 3 forms the non-rotatable, but provided with axial play connection ^

between motor shaft and torque converter. In Fig. 2, the roller ring 10 with the rollers 11 to 17 is shown. At the beginning, the roller 11 is half-divided and has a bolt 21. The end with the roller 17 is also divided and has an eyelet with which it, when attached to the bolt 21 of the roller 11, results in a closed ring. With the same number of rollers, this ring can easily be inserted and closed in the shell-shaped recesses of the same number on the housing cover of the torque converter. To assemble and to establish the non-rotatable connection between the motor shaft and the torque converter, only an axial pushing together is necessary, which can be carried out easily and quickly without tools. {
