1,010,393. Friction clutches. LOHMAN & STOLTERFOHT A.G. Sept. 27, 1963 [Nov. 30, 1962], 38134/63. Addition to 954,882. Heading F2C. The double cone friction clutch described in the parent Specification is modified by forming either or both of the preloaded resilient annular members connecting the friction cones 4 with the hub 3 as a number of axially separated elements 6<SP>1</SP>, thereby reducing their thickness and the risk of overheating. Cooling may also be augmented by providing radial openings 17, 18 through the hub between the elements 6<SP>1</SP> to allow the outward flow of air from the centre of the clutch. The resilient elements 6<SP>1</SP> are secured to rigid core and rim members 6<SP>1</SP>a, 6<SP>1</SP>c by conical surfaces tapering towards the middle of the clutch.
