ABSTRACT:
A clutch cover assembly for automobiles comprises an annular cover to be attached to a flywheel. An annular pressure plate coupled to the cover by coupling means permitting axial movement of the pressure plate relative to the cover. Axially acting elastic means urge the pressure plate from the cover. Abutment means retain the pressure plate axially after predetermined axial displacement relative to the cover. The cover comprises a transverse front wall on which the axially acting elastic means bear and an axial skirt. A transverse radial rim at the end of the skirt opposite the front wall bears on the flywheel. The pressure plate comprises radially projecting lugs on its outside periphery and the radial rim comprises louvers offset axially from its main part and formed with fixing lands. The coupling means comprise deformable tangs attached at one end to the lugs on the pressure plate and at the other end to the fixing land on the louvers. The skirt comprises a notch which extends into and interrupts the radial rim. Each lug on the pressure plate passes radially through this notch. The deformable tang associated with each lug is formed on the outside of the cover, on the side of its radial rim facing its front wall, extending from this lug to the corresponding fixing land on the corresponding louver. Each louver comprises an intermediate land axially offset from the fixing land in the direction towards the main part of the radial rim.
