20080308378 | Coupling device - Cooling oil is fed to a second oil space formed on the inner circumferential side of a hub member, and is also fed through a bypass oil passage to a first oil space formed on the outer circumferential side of a drum member. When the friction plates rotate, with grooves in the friction pads attached to the inner friction plates, the cooling oil flows by inertial force through oil holes in the hub member and through oil holes of the drum member, from the first oil space to the second oil space, and from the second oil space to the first oil space, respectively, through the friction plates. Accordingly, the flow of the cooling oil to the friction plates is improved without notches, etc. in the outer friction plates or in the inner friction plates, resulting in an improvement in cooling of the coupling device. | 12-18-2008 |
