Clutch mechanism for automobile vehicles

摘要

A clutch mechanism, particularly for a motor vehicle, is fitted with stop means to check the axial travel of the pressure plate after a predetermined distance of axial travel thereof with respect to the cover. The stop means include at least one radial lug which, independently of the cover, is fixed thereto using fixing means connecting to the cover the leaf-springs which provide the rotational connection between the pressure plate and the cover. The lug or lugs act on the outer circumferential edge of the pressure plate.
