Stator structure for torque converter

A torque converter comprising a pump impeller that is connected to a drive source and rotates around an axis, a turbine runner that is connected to an input shaft of a transmission and rotates around the axis, and a stator structure including a stator that is disposed between the pump impeller and the turbine runner, the stator comprising a first stator that is positioned on an upstream side in a direction of circulation of oil and a second stator that is positioned on a downstream side in the direction of circulation, the first stator being supported on a fixed part via a first one-way clutch, and the second stator being supported on the fixed part via a second one-way clutch,

• wherein the first stator includes a plurality of blades and the second stator includes a plurality of blades, and
• wherein in a view seen along the axis, a blade tip part of each of the blades of the first stator is inclined in a disengagement direction of the first one-way clutch relative to a blade base part and regardless of a relationship between phases of the first stator and the second stator, each of the blades of the first stator is continuously connected at least at one position to one of the blades of the second stator in a direction of the axis.
