ABSTRACT:
A self-adjusting release system for the friction clutch of a motor vehicle wherein the output element of the clutch is or transmits torque to the input element of a change-speed transmission. The input member of the release system is a first lever which is pivotable by the clutch pedal and is automatically coupled to a second lever when it leaves its starting position in response to depression of the pedal whereby the second lever disengages the clutch. The first lever automatically engages a brake for the input element of the change-speed transmission as soon as the clutch is disengaged. A set of springs is provided to automatically return the levers to their starting positions when the pressure upon the clutch pedal is relaxed and to uncouple the second lever from the first lever in order to enable the second lever to change its angular position relative to the first lever for the purpose of compensating for wear upon component parts of the clutch, brake and/or release system.
