A friction clutch (1) has a rotatable clutch housing (3), a pressure plate (6) rotatable with the clutch housing (3) but axially movable, a clutch plate (8) with friction linings, a diaphragm spring (9) urging the pressure plate (6) to clamp the clutch plate (8) to a flywheel, and a withdrawal system. A second spring (14) is arranged in the clutch to apply little or no force in a clutch release direction when the clutch is engaged and an increasing release force with increasing clutch withdrawal travel. The second spring (14) has inwardly extending tongues (21) through which it is connected to the diaphragm spring (9). <IMAGE> |
