Fluid coupling

A fluid coupling rotatable about a rotational axis, the fluid coupling comprising:

• a front cover into which a torque is inputted;
• an output shaft member rotatable about the rotational axis, the output shaft member for outputting the torque;
• a piston supported by the output shaft member, the piston capable of sliding on the output shaft member in an axial direction, the piston extending in a radial direction;
• a clutch disposed between the front cover and the piston;
• an impeller including an impeller shell and an impeller blade, the impeller shell fixed to the front cover, the impeller blade attached to the impeller shell;
• a turbine including a turbine shell, a turbine blade and a connecting portion, the turbine shell disposed in opposition to the impeller, the turbine blade attached to the turbine shell, the connecting portion connecting the piston and the turbine shell so as to make the piston and the turbine shell unitarily rotatable;
• and
• a damper mechanism coupling the output shaft member and either of the turbine and the piston,
• wherein the damper mechanism includes
• a holder member extending in the radial direction, the holder member unitarily rotatable with the output shaft member,
• an elastic member held by the holder member, and the connecting portion is located radially outside the damper mechanism, and
• a support portion supporting the turbine in the axial direction;
• the turbine further including an axially-extending hook axially movable within a space between an end of the support portion and the holder member to restrict an axial movement of the turbine relative to the holder member and output shaft.
