Membrane spring coupling especially for motorised vehicles - has housing containing pressure plate, sprung tongues separated by radial slits, support element

摘要

The connecting parts (14, 15) on the outside of the coupling housing (2, 3) lead into radially inward angled parts (16, 17). Openings (18) in the coupling housing consists of an insertion part (19) shaped to match the axial projection fo the radially angled parts. An adjacent torsional part (20, 21) has a radial extension matching the thickness of the connecting parts (14, 15) so that a bayonet connection is formed by inserting the radially angled part of the support element (10, 11) through the holes (9) in the membrane spring (6). ADVANTAGE - The membrane spring coupling is more easily assembled and undone by use of a bayonet connection, and avoids the separate parts from being damaged.
