  • Patent number: 7083381
    Abstract: A stator blade for a hydrokinetic torque converter, the blade profile having geometric characteristics that improve torque flow efficiency in the converter torque flow circuit, whereby the torque converter efficiency at high speed ratios is improved without significant adverse effects on the converter torque ratio at stall and at low speed ratios.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6745563
    Abstract: A torque converter for a vehicle having a substantially reduced axial length relative to a conventional circular-shaped torus cross section. The torque converter includes a turbine and an impeller, with a stator mounted generally therebetween. The stator is one piece and formed with axial pull shaped blades that have a reactor blade base axial length that extends for the majority of the radial length, a reactor shroud axial length that is less than the reactor blade base axial length, and a taper in the blade between the two axial lengths.
