Abstract
A blade for a stator in a torque converter including: a first blade segment connected to first inner and outer circumferential sections; a second blade segment, separately formed from the first blade segment, connected to second inner and outer circumferential sections, and including first and second portions; and a channel disposed between the first and second blade segments. In a circumferential direction, the first and second portions are separated by the channel.

A blade for a stator in a torque converter, comprising:
- a first blade segment connected to first inner and outer circumferential sections;
- a second blade segment, separately formed from the first blade segment, connected to second inner and outer circumferential sections, and including:
- first and second radially disposed sides connected to the first inner and outer circumferential sections;
- a first radially disposed end connecting the first and second radially disposed sides;
- and,
- a second radially disposed end connecting the first and second radially disposed sides;
- and,
- a channel, wherein:
- a first line, oriented only in a circumferential direction:
- passes through the first radially disposed end or is co-linear with the first radially disposed end;
- passes through in sequence:
- the channel, the second radially disposed side, and the first radially disposed side;
- and,
- a second line, oriented only in the circumferential direction, passes through in sequence:
- the first radially disposed side, the second radially disposed side, the channel, the second radially disposed side and the first radially disposed side.
