Abstract
A hydrodynamic coupling device includes a housing arrangement and a turbine wheel rotatably arranged in the housing arrangement for rotation about an axis of rotation. The turbine wheel has a turbine wheel shell carries a plurality of turbine wheel blades in its radially outer region and is connected to a turbine wheel hub in its radially inner region. The tubine wheel shell has a connecting portion connecting the radially outer region to the radially inner region. The turbine wheel shell further includes a reinforcing arrangement in its connecting portion.
