  • Plate clutch assembly having a torque transmitting member with an improved lubrication controlling dam structure
    Patent number: 5806645
    Abstract: A torque transmitting member for use in a plate clutch assembly includes a gear having interior and exterior splines. The exterior splines define exterior tooth surfaces, and the interior splines define corresponding interior trough surfaces. The clutch plate assembly includes an outer annular member having a annular section radially spaced from the splines of the torque transmitting member so as to define an annular space therebetween. One group of clutch plates is keyed to the outer annular member, and another group intermeshes with the external tooth surfaces of the torque transmitting member. An opening extending from an interior trough surface to the exterior tooth surface allows a liquid lubricant fed into the interior trough surfaces to be directed radially outwardly by centrifugal force into the plurality of parallel clutch plates.
    Type: Grant
