A clutch plate for use in friction clutches of automotive vehicles wherein the hub has an integral flange flanked by and secured to two disc-shaped walls. These walls flank the inner sections of two flat rings forming part of a carrier for the friction linings. The friction linings are secured to flexible segments whose inner portions extend between the outer sections of the rings and are secured thereto by rivets. The inner sections of the rings are held apart by one or more distancing projections provided on one or both rings. The projections of one ring can abut against the adjacent surface of or against registering projections provided on the other ring, and the projections of one ring can be bonded or mechanically secured to the other ring or to the projections of the other ring. A single circumferentially extending projection on one of the rings can replace an entire annulus of discrete projections. Such projection or projections are obtained by bending the material of the respective ring or rings toward the other ring.
