ABSTRACT:
A twin plate friction clutch includes a one-way clutch device which allows only relative movement of the intermediate pressure plate towards the flywheel to compensate for wear of the primary driven plate. The clutch device comprises an abutment member supported in a relatively tapered aperture of the pressure plate by ball bearings. Coil springs ensure positive separation of the pressure plate on clutch disengagement until the abutment member contacts the clutch cover.
Several such devices are provided at equi-spaced intervals around the periphery of the intermediate pressure plate.
