ABSTRACT:
The clutch driven plate assembly includes a hub assembly connectable to a driven shaft and interconnected driven and spring retainer plates rotatably mounted upon the hub assembly. The hub assembly has an inner hub and an outer hub having a driven flange between the plates. A plurality of circumferentially spaced aligned windows are provided in the plates and flange, with at least one compression spring retained within each set of aligned windows thereby defining a yieldable connection between the plates and flange. The inner hub has a cylindrical body provided with a pair of outwardly directed converging hub flanges and the outer hub has a central opening of the same shape as the hub flanges and oversized with respect thereto and loosely receiving the inner hub flanges for limited relative rotation. A back plate is spaced from the inner and outer hubs and secured to the flange, and a resilient spacer is interposed between and bears against the inner and outer hubs and back plate. Axial springs are interposed in compression between one side of the hub flanges and back plate normally biasing the hub flanges away from the back plate. A resilient washer is mounted upon the inner hub, bears against the other side of the inner hub flanges and is retained in compression between the inner hub and the driven plate. The plate springs dampen relative rotary motions between the plates and driven flange and the axial springs, spacer and washer further dampen relative rotary motions between the inner and outer hubs.
