ABSTRACT:
An engaging apparatus is provided that includes: outer and inner support members having respective splines that are opposed to each other in a radial direction thereof, and being rotatable relative to each other; a plurality of outer friction plates engaging with the spline of the outer support member; a plurality of inner friction plates alternately superposed on the outer friction plates and engaging with the spline of the inner support member; and a hydraulic piston mechanism for compressing a stack of the outer and inner friction plates. A spring member is inserted between circumferentially opposed faces of a driven set of the friction plates and a spline of the corresponding support member. The spring member is formed by bending an elastic material at an axially intermediate point thereof to have a long side and a short side with a circumferential spacing left therebetween. The long side supports the driven plates, and the end portion of the short side is supported by a side wall of the spline at a point that is approximately aligned with an axially middle portion of a region of said long side, which region supports the driven plates.
