Clutch arrangement for vehicle engine - uses pressure rod to control movement of pair of membrane springs.

摘要

The vehicle clutch arrangement has just one pressure rod (7) to actuate two couplings (24,25). The pressure rod presses on the pressure plate (16) of a first membrane spring (20), the spring tongue of which sets free a pressure piece (22) and releases the coupling (24). For the release of the other coupling (25) the pressure rod acts within the housing (2) until the rear side (12) of the pressure plate acts against a catch (15). The spring tongue (18) of a second membrane spring (21) is connected to a fastening body (13), and the catch is releasably held in a bore (10) in the flywheel axle (11). USE/ADVANTAGE - Clutch for vehicle which is simpler to build, requires less installation space, and has reduced weight and costs.
