An engine output shaft and a transmission torque converter are connected for torque transmission therebetween. A flex plate is disposed between, and secured for rotation with either, the output shaft or the torque converter input shell. The flex plate includes an axially extending rim frictionally engaged with an annular wall secured either the output shaft or the torque converter input shell. A clamp member surrounds the rim on the flex plate radially outward of the annular wall and is selectively tightened to establish a force therein to cause the frictional engagement to be sufficient to transmit the torque.

La présente invention vise le raccordement de l'arbre de sortie d'un moteur à un convertisseur de couple aux fins de transmission d'un couple entre ces deux éléments. Une plaque souple est disposée entre l'arbre et le convertisseur et est fixée de manière à tourner soit avec l'arbre soit avec la cloche de liaison du convertisseur. La plaque souple comporte un rebord se prolongeant dans le sens axial, lequel est inséré par friction dans un élément annulaire fixé sur l'arbre ou sur la cloche. Un collier entoure le rebord de la plaque, dans le sens radial, et peut être serré selon le cas pour exercer une force sur celui-ci, suffisant pour assurer la transmission du couple.
