The method for manufacturing fluid power transmissions sequentially performs: a first process of assembling a provisional blade-core assembly (38) obtained from connecting multiple blades (2b) to a core (2c) so as to move freely by lining up the multiple blades (2b) on a blade alignment jig (J1) and superposing the core (2c) above the group of blades (2b) while loosely inserting protruding pieces (30) provided on each blade (2b) in engaging holes (31) provided on the core (2c) and then bending the tips of the protruding pieces (30) so as to keep the protruding pieces (30) from slipping out of the engaging holes (31); a second process of setting the provisional blade-core assembly (38) at a prescribed position on the inner surface of a shell (2s); and a third process of soldering the protruding pieces (30) to the engaging holes (31) and the blades (2b) to the shell (2S), respectively. As a result, ease of assembly is favorable and it is possible to bond the three parts, the shell, the blades and the core, without strain and obtain a high quality impeller for a fluid power transmission.

The distance between the inner circumferential surface of the case (40, 100, 160, 160A) and the outer circumferential surface of the purification member (20, 90, 150) differs according to the location on the purification member (20, 90, 150).
An exhaust silencing device is connected to an exhaust system of an engine.

Consequently, condensed water stored in the silencer body can be efficiently discharged to the outside so that the effect of reducing exhaust resistance by the use of the two outlet pipes for leading the exhaust gas that has flowed into the silencer body and has been silenced to the outside is not impaired.
From among first and second stators (40, 41) of a torque converter supported at a fastening portion by a one-way clutch corresponding to said stators, the number of second stator blades (46) of the second stator (41) at a downstream side of an oil flow is larger than the number of first stator blades (42) of the first stator (40) at an upstream side, and the maximum value (t2) of the blade thickness of the second stator blade (46) is smaller than the minimum value (t1) of the blade thickness of the first stator blade (42). A sufficient opening (β) is secured between the rear edge (42b) of the first stator blade (42) and the front edge (46a) of the second stator blade (46). According to the present invention, an oil flow delay at the opening (β) is prevented, and the oil flow is made efficient due to the large number of first stator blades so that both the capacity coefficient and the torque ratio of the torque converter may be improved.

Manufacturing method of impeller for fluid transmitting device
In a manufacturing method of an impeller for a fluid transmitting device, multiple guide grooves aligned in a peripheral direction to allow communication between adjacent ones of multiple positioning holes are provided in a concave inner surface of a core in advance; and in a step of melting a brazing material and causing the molten brazing material to penetrate into gaps between coupling pieces and positioning holes that are fitted to each other and further into gaps between the core and the blades, the molten brazing material is guided to the positioning holes through the multiple guide grooves. Accordingly, the step allows the molten brazing material to be efficiently guided to the gaps between the coupling pieces and positioning holes, thereby improving the yield of the brazing material and preventing an influence of a residual brazing material over the rotational balance of the impeller.
In a fluid transmitting device with a lock-up clutch, each second transmitting claw is formed of: a base portion having a long side arranged in a peripheral direction of a turbine impeller and a short side arranged axially of the turbine impeller; and a claw portion protruding from an intermediate portion of one of long-side portions of the base portion and being inserted between adjacent damper springs, and each short-side portion of the base portion is fixed to the turbine impeller through a weld. A long-side portion of the base portion not welded to the turbine impeller includes a cutout, facilitating bend of the long-side portion when transmitting torque through the second transmitting claw, at opposite sides of the claw portion. This improves engine output performance by relaxing stress concentration at spots where the second claws are welded to a turbine impeller without increasing the thicknesses of the claws.

Provided is a process for producing a brake disk having an outer peripheral shape with radial projections and recesses formed repeatedly in the peripheral direction, the process having excellent productivity in that a curved face section can be formed uniformly along the entire perimeter of each outer peripheral edge of the disk body and in that no chamfering step is required for deburring. In the process, a disk body (1) having an outer peripheral shape with repeatedly formed projections and recesses is half-blanked from one surface of a sheet material (W) in the thickness direction thereof, and then, the disk body (1) is blanked from the other surface of the sheet material (W) in the thickness direction thereof. Thus, curved face sections (1b, 1d) created by rollover and contiguous to the respective sheared face sections (1a, 1c) on the outer peripheral surface of the disk body (1) are formed on the respective outer peripheral edges of both said one surface and said other surface, in the thickness direction, of the disk body (1) produced according to the aforementioned process.

The apparatus has a base to which first and second rods are movably mounted, and first and second pressers connected to respective ones of the first and second rods. A first drive mechanism moves the first, but not the second, rods to bring the first pressers into contact with first peripheral surface portions of the mat so that second peripheral surface portions of the mat are formed into respective convex portions. A second drive mechanism moves the second rods to bring the second pressers into contact with the convex portions of the mat to compress the convex portions while the first pressers are maintained in pressure contact with the first peripheral surface portions of the mat.
