BRACKET BARB PRESSURE PLATE STOP

摘要

A dry friction clutch for connecting a transmission with a flywheel of an engine is provided. The clutch includes a bracket having a main body axially spaced from an engine flywheel. The bracket is torsionally connected to the flywheel. The bracket has a generally U-shaped cross section with a main body connected with generally axially extending side walls. An axially movable pressure plate is torsionally connected with the bracket. The pressure plate is axially movable within the bracket. A friction disc is provided having a connection with an input shaft of a transmission. The friction disc is axially positioned between the flywheel and the pressure plate. A release assembly is provided including a spring for urging the pressure plate toward the flywheel. The bracket side walls have inward positioned barbs to axially limit travel of the pressure plate.

主权项

1. A selectively engagable dry friction clutch assembly for connecting a transmission with a flywheel of an engine comprising:
a bracket having a main body axially spaced from said flywheel and being torsionally connected thereto, said bracket having a generally U-shaped cross section with said main body being connected with generally axially extending side walls; an axially movable pressure plate torsionally connected with said cover; a friction disc for having torsional connection with an input shaft of a transmission, said friction disc being axially positioned between said flywheel and said pressure plate; a release assembly including a spring for urging said pressure plate toward said flywheel; and wherein said bracket side walls have a plurality of radially inward barbs to limit axial travel of said pressure plate with respect to said bracket.
