<p>A friction facing material and carrier assembly (2) to form part of a driven plate of a friction clutch. The assembly (2) comprises a circular carrier plate (4) with resilient flexible paddles (14) at its periphery. Two annuli of friction material constituting friction facings (20, 22) are each bonded by silicone rubber to opposite sides of the paddles. The silicone rubber on each side of the paddles is in the form of substantially continuous circular concentric stripes of rubber substantially centred on axis (X) about which the assembly (2) is intended to rotate. The concentric stripes (24A, 24B, 24C, 24D, 24E) bonding the friction facing (20) to one side of the paddles (14) are each preferably opposite the gap between two adjacent concentric stripes of rubber bonding the friction facing (22) to the other side of the paddles.</p> |
