Dual clutch

A dual clutch device comprising:

• an input side, a first output side, and a second output side each arranged rotational about an axis of rotation;
• a first, radially outer friction clutch for generating a friction-fitting engagement between the input side and the first output side, the first friction clutch including:
• a first friction element engaged with the input side in a torque-proof fashion;
• a second friction element engaged with the first output side in a torque-proof fashion;
• a first control element for providing an axial compression upon the first friction element and the second friction element;
• and
• a first leaf spring element arranged axially between (i) the first control element and (ii) the first friction element or the second friction element;
• a second, radially inner friction clutch for generating a friction-fitting engagement between the input side and the second output side, the second friction clutch including:
• a third friction element engaged with the input side in a torque-proof fashion;
• a fourth friction element engaged with the second output side in a torque-proof fashion;
• a second control element for providing an axial compression upon the third friction element and the fourth friction element;
• and
• a second leaf spring element;
• and
• an axial actuating element;
• and
• at least one of:
• the axial actuating element acts upon the first leaf spring element, the first leaf spring element compressing the first friction element and the second friction element when an axial actuating force from the axial actuating element is missing so that the first friction clutch closes, or
• the axial actuating element acts upon the second leaf spring element, the second leaf spring element compressing the third friction element and the fourth friction element when the axial actuating force from the axial actuating element is missing so that the second friction clutch closes.
