Abstract

The invention relates to a torque transmission device with a clutch disk or friction plate that is connected by way of positive locking sections to an input part of a torsional vibration damping device so that they turn together but it can be slid axially. In order to produce a torque transmission device, by which the shifting quality of a converter bridge clutch in a hydrodynamic torque converter can be improved, the input part of the torsional vibration damping device has, in the circumferential direction between two positive locking sections, a seat area for one end of a spring shackle that extends from the clutch disk.
