"Improvements in and relating to fluid couplings" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention is concerned with a fluid coupling of the type comprising a driving member and driven member mounted for rotation relative to each other, with at least a part of one of the members mounted within a drive chamber containing a viscous liquid and formed by at least a part of the other of the members. The degree of torque transmitted is variable in dependence upon a single controlling parameter. In a known manner, the coupling includes a reservoir separate from the drive chamber, an inlet allowing fluid to pass from the drive chamber to the reservoir, an outlet for passage of fluid from the reservoir to the drive chamber and a valve in the outlet which may be opened and closed in response to variation in the desired parameter. The valve comprises a valve plate located in the wall separating the fluid reservoir from the drive chamber and including a valve port surrounded by a valve seat, and a closure member movable in response to a single variable parameter external to the coupling between a closed position in which the closure member seats against the valve seat and an open position in which the closure member is spaced from the valve seat in a direction away from the fluid reservoir.
