ABSTRACT:
A clutch disc arrangement for use in friction clutches of automotive vehicles has a hub with a flange which is riveted to two axially spaced annular disc-shaped guides flanking the radially innermost portion of a clutch disc which carries two friction coatings. First coil springs are interposed between the clutch disc and the guides to yieldably urge the clutch disc to a neutral angular position with reference to the hub. Once the clutch disc is moved through a preselected angle beyond such neutral position, its further angular movement relative to the hub is resisted by an axially resilient friction disc which is outwardly adjacent to one of the guides and bears against the one guide directly as well as through the medium of a friction pad. Additional coil springs are interposed between the friction disc and the one guide to yieldably oppose angular displacement of the clutch disc relative to the hub after the clutch disc has moved through a given angle beyond the neutral position. The clutch disc, or a reinforcing disc which is riveted to the clutch disc, has axially extending arms which overlie the one guide and extend, with at least some clearance as considered in the circumferential direction of the hub, into peripheral recesses of the friction disc.
