ABSTRACT:
In a clutch disk, particularly for a motor vehicle clutch, the annular friction linings are mounted on a carrier disk by a plurality of pairs of leaf spring elements which are distributed along a peripheral zone of the carrier disk. The leaf spring elements comprise fixing portions. The fixing portions of the leaf spring elements of respective pairs of leaf spring elements rest against each other and are commonly fixed to the peripheral zone. Further the leaf spring elements comprise lining carrying portions, which are fixed to the friction linings. The lining carrying portions of the leaf spring elements of respective pairs of leaf spring elements have an uneven configuration such that only first partial areas of the lining carrying portions abut each other, whereas second partial areas of the lining carrying portions are spaced from each other in axial direction when in the unloaded condition. The lining carrying portion and the fixing portion of at least one of the leaf spring elements of respective pairs of leaf spring elements are inclined with respect to each other in the disassembled condition; in the assembled condition this inclination is overcome so as to elastically press the lining carrying portions against each other in the first partial areas.
