ABSTRACT:
A clutch cover assembly 1 is provided with a biasing mechanism 24 disposed between a pressure plate 22 and a fulcrum ring 23 for biasing the fulcrum ring 23 axially away from the pressure plate 23. The biasing mechanism 24 includes a first support plate 31, a second support plate 32, and return springs 33. The first and second support plates 31 and 32 are movable relative to each other in the circumferential direction. The first and second support plates 31 and 32 include first and second tilted surfaces 31a and 32a, respectively, that abut on each other. The return springs 33 are disposed in an inner circumference of the first and second support plates 31 and 32. Each return spring 33 is a tension spring which biases the first and the second support plates 31 and 32 relative to each other in the circumferential direction. Thus, clutch cover assembly 1 is equipped with a wear compensation mechanism that has a simplified biasing mechanism 24 located between the fulcrum ring 23 and the pressure plate 22.
