A hub for a torque-transmitting member comprising a planar clutch. The clutch includes a pocket plate and a notch plate located within the hub. One plate is integrated within the hub, such as by casting or molding, to form an integral assembly, the other plate being splined or otherwise secured to a shaft. The pocket plate has strut pockets disposed about the axis of the hub. The notch plate has recesses at angularly spaced positions about the axis. Struts pivotally anchored in the strut pockets engage the notch plate recesses to effect one-way torque transfer between the plates.

[ What is claimed is:] [4.] A stator assembly for a hydrokinetic torque converter comprising a non-ferrous stator hub and non-ferrous stator blades extending from a stator hub axis in a generally radial direction;said stator hub having a central opening, a stationary stator shaft in said central opening;ferrous coupling members with radial, planar surfaces disposed in said central opening for relative angular motion, one coupling member having notch recesses in its planar surface therein and the other coupling member having strut pockets formed in its planar surface; andtorque-transmitting struts in said strut pockets, said struts being pivotally engaged independently, one with respect to the other, at one of their margins on said other coupling member in said pocket, the opposite margins of said struts being engageable with said notch recesses in said one coupling member whereby torque is transmitted between said coupling members;said non-ferrous hub, said stator blades and said other of said coupling members forming an integral, unitary, cast assembly, the one coupling member having means for anchoring it to said stator shaft;said other coupling member being formed independently of said stator hub prior to assembly. [7.] A method for manufacturing a stator assembly planar clutch hub comprising the steps of:forming ferrous coupling members having radial, planar surfaces with strut pockets and recesses;forming a non-ferrous portion of said hub as a unitary, integral, cast subassembly;assembling struts in said pockets;assembling a separate spring in each pocket, each spring urging a separate one of said struts toward said recesses; andassembling the other of said coupling members in said hub with said strut pockets and recesses in close registry whereby struts in said pockets are engageable with said recesses to effect one-way torque transfer between said coupling members.
