ABSTRACT:
A pull-type friction clutch has a diaphragm spring with radially inwardly extending prongs which are separably coupled to an axially movable actuator by a bayonet mount so that the prongs are compelled to share axial movements of the actuator in either direction. The actuator can be shifted axially by a bearing which is separably secured thereto by a coupling in such a way that the coupling is activated in automatic response to movement of the actuator toward the change-speed transmission in a motor vehicle. A tool can be used to change the angular position of the actuator with reference to the diaphragm spring whereby the bayonet mount is activated or deactivated, depending upon whether the operator wishes to establish or terminate a connection between the transmission and the engine of a motor vehicle.
