Reinforcement part for clutch disc comprises specifically shaped, slightly movable segments with ends of the segments pointing towards the center of the disc are wider than the openings for the insertion of the springs

摘要

The radial positioned segments (4) of the lining carrying element (3) of a clutch disc (1) are either arranged just touching each other or even at a small distance from each other in order to avoid the creation of shear forces by allowing a slight radial movement. The ends (10) of the segments (4) pointing towards the center of the disc (1) are wider than the openings (7) for the insertion of the springs (17), resulting in a more stable construction. Adjacent segments (4) share a circular recess.
