Abstract
The invention relates to a hydrokinetic torque coupling device for a motor vehicle, comprising a torque input element (11) intended to be coupled to a crankshaft (1), an impeller wheel (3) rotationally coupled to the torque input element (11) and able to hydrokinetically drive a turbine wheel (4) through a reactor (5), a torque output element (8) intended to be coupled to a transmission input shaft (2), clutch means (10) adapted to rotationally couple the torque input element (11) and the torque output element (8) in an engaged position, through damping means (22, 26), and adapted to rotationally uncouple the torque input element (11) and the torque output element (8) in a disengaged position.
