Clutch cover assembly

摘要

A clutch cover assembly suitable for automotive vehicles comprises a generally annular cover by means of which it is adapted to be attached to a reaction plate or flywheel. It further comprises a generally annular pressure plate which is constrained to rotate with the cover but movable relative to it in the axial direction. Elastic means in the form of a diaphragm spring bear on the cover to exert an axial force on the pressure plate through a bearing member. The bearing member is centered on the diaphragm spring by axial lugs which engage in notches provided on the diaphragm spring for this purpose. The bearing member carries a progressively acting spring washer.
