ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a multiple disc clutch which is particularly suitable for use in a drive line between an engine and a synchromesh gear in a vehicular transmission. A multiple disc clutch in accordance with the present invention may be termed a "half-wet" clutch and it possesses advantages including reducing both the drag torque and the quantity of lubricating oil required.
In particular a multiple disc clutch according to the invention includes first and second sets of interleaved and axially moveable clutch discs, restraining means for restraining at least the axial movement of each disc of the first set of discs, the restraining means comprising a number of first and second sets of stop members disposed alternately and at intervals around the outer circumference of the first set of discs, the first stop members serving to limit the axial position of the first set of discs, when in the disengaged position, in one axial direction and the second stop members serving to limit the axial position of the first set of discs, when in the disengaged position, in the opposite axial direction, thereby defining spaces for each second disc between two succeeding first discs, and means for axially displacing the discs of the first set to establish engagement thereof with the second set of discs.
