Abstract
In a weld-coupling portion 3 which is formed by fitting an inner peripheral surface 2b of an end portion of a pump shell 2 to a lower-step surface 4a of a stepped portion 4 formed on an outer peripheral surface of an end portion of a front cover 1 of a torque converter and then welding them together while abutting an end surface 2a of the end portion of the pump shell 2 with a stepped surface 4a of the stepped portion 4 of the front cover 1, the weld-coupling portion 3 is cut down to a level of the lower-step surface 4a of the front cover 1 in such a predetermined cutting width as to evenly cut a front cover side and a pump shell side of the weld-coupling portion 3 in order to separate the front cover 1 and the pump shell 2 apart. A new replacement of the pump shell 2N which has an end portion whose length is larger than that of the end portion of a cut pump shell 2C (not illustrated) by the cutting width W is fit to the lower-step surface 4a of the stepped portion of the end portion of the cut front cover 1C. The end surface 2a of the end portion is abutted with the stepped surface 4b of the end portion of the cut front cover 1C to thereby weld-recouple the cut front cover 1C and the new pump shell 2N.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
