ABSTRACT:
A clutch disk for use in a dry friction clutch includes a cushioned friction element assembly. The assembly includes a novel support system, wherein as part of a pair of identical friction laminates welded or otherwise secured to one another, opposing pairs of integral sliding wedge supports are adapted to jointly clasp the disk at radial boundaries of openings in the disk. In a preferred form, each laminate incorporates a backing plate, and each friction assembly includes a central cushion region between back plates. The sliding wedge supports retain each assembly over a disk opening, and are adapted to accommodate significant lateral deflection of the assembly during transitional engagement of the clutch disk.
