Multiple-disc friction clutch

A multiple-disc friction clutch comprising:

• a clutch housing being axially supported by an output rotation shaft in a rotatable manner and being configured to receive drive torque from an internal combustion engine;
• clutch centers being coupled to the output rotation shaft;
• a clutching part including a plurality of plate members that are configured to transmit and shut off torque between the clutch housing and the clutch centers;
• a pressure plate being configured to press the clutching part against the clutch center;
• and
• a biasing member biasing the pressure plate in a direction of pressing the clutching part,
• the clutch centers including a first clutch center and a second clutch center, the first clutch center being axially supported by the output rotation shaft in a relatively non-rotatable manner, the second clutch center being supported by the first clutch center in a relatively rotatable manner and holding the clutching part between the pressure plate and the second clutch center,
• elastic members being interposed between the first clutch center and the second clutch center and being configured to be compressed and deformed by relative rotation of the first clutch center and the second clutch center so as to transmit power,
• the second clutch center having a side wall that faces the pressure plate and having an opening part that penetrates in an axial direction, at a position facing the elastic member of the side wall,
• a push rod being inserted and fitted in the opening part and being configured to be moved in the axial direction by compression deformation of the elastic member so as to press the pressure plate.
