ABSTRACT:
A clutch plate for use in friction clutches of automotive vehicles has three units which are angularly movable with reference to one another, and two sets of coil springs. The first unit has two rigidly connected spaced-apart disc members one of which carries the friction linings and can be driven by the flywheel of the engine. The second unit has a hub which can drive the input shaft of a change-speed transmission and a flange consisting of three radially outwardly extending arms which are rigid with the hub and disposed in pockets defined by two mirror symmetrical intermediate discs constituting the third unit. The intermediate discs are disposed between the disc members of the first unit and have peripheral notches for distancing elements which connect the disc members to one another and can perform limited angular movements in their notches. The intermediate discs extend radially beyond the arms of the flange and have projections which extend, with angular play, between the arms of the flange. One set of coil springs is installed in registering openings of the arms and intermediate discs to oppose relative angular movement between the second and third units, and the other set of springs is installed in registering windows of the disc members and intermediate discs to oppose angular movements of the first and third units with reference to one another. Friction generating devices are interposed between the first and second, first and third and/or second and third units.
