Abstract
A hydrokinetic torque coupling device for a motor vehicle comprises an impeller wheel intended to be coupled to a crankshaft and adapted to hydrokinetically rotate a turbine wheel. The impeller wheel rotationally coupled to a cover at least partially accommodating the impeller wheel, the turbine wheel and the reactor. The turbine wheel is axially moves between an engaged position in which the turbine wheel and the impeller wheel are axially moved closer to each other and rotationally coupled together, and a disengaged position in which the turbine wheel and the impeller wheel are axially moved away from each other and rotationally uncoupled. The device comprises a bracing member axially extending between the turbine wheel and a part of the cover, with the bracing member being adapted to limit the axial motion of the turbine wheel toward the above-mentioned part of the cover, opposite the turbine wheel.
