ABSTRACT:
A release bearing mechanism of a clutch comprises a release bearing connected to an operation mechanism for applying an operating force to the bearing in axially outward direction, and including an inner race which is provided with an axially inwardly extending cylindrical extension. A cylindrical wedge collar is disposed around the extension. A lever plate is connected to a diaphragm spring of the clutch and disposed around the wedge collar. The wedge collar and the lever plate are movable through predetermined axial section relatively to each other. The wedge collar includes an inner engagement portion axially immovably engaging the cylindrical extension, an outer engagement portion engaging the lever plate and radially elastically deflectable portion, so that radially outward deflection of the deflectable portion may permit radial movement of the inner engagement portion to a disengaged position and that radially inward deflection thereof may permit radial movement of the outer engagement portion to a disengaged position.
