Abstract
This invention relates to friction clutch driven plates and in particular to motor vehicle clutch driven plates which require both an idling vibration damper and a load vibration damper. The driven plate comprises two concentric hubs, on one of which is mounted a friction facing carrier capable of restrained angular movement about the hubs. The hubs each have spring seatings which are arranged in a common radial plane and springs act between the seatings to oppose relative rotational movement between the hubs.
Claims9
A friction clutch driven plate having:
- an inner hub;
- a radially outwardly projecting peripheral flange fixedly attached to with said inner hub and located at one end portion thereof;
- and which has spring seatings thereon,
- an outer hub concentric with and capable of limited angular movement about said inner hub and having one end portion adjacent said flange;
- a co-axial annular plate fixedly attached to with said outer hub and located at the one end portion thereof and having spring seatings thereon that are arranged in substantially the same plane as said spring seatings on said flange;
- a friction facing carrier mounted on said outer hub and capable of restrained limited angular rotation about both said hubs, and springs acting between opposed spring seatings on said flange and said plate to oppose relative movement between said inner and outer hubs.
