Motor vehicle clutch disc

In a clutch disc for a motor vehicle clutch;

• the clutch disc having a clutch disc plane and including a metal carrier sheet;
• an elastomer intermediate layer facing the metal carrier layer;
• a clutch lining facing the elastomer intermediate layer;
• and a composite binder bonding first surface regions of the elastomer intermediate layer to the metal carrier sheet and to the clutch lining by chemical sorption;
• areas of the first surface regions being less than areas of the metal carrier sheet and the clutch lining facing the elastomer intermediate layer;
• the elastomer intermediate layer being essentially composed of a material selected from the group consisting of hydrated nitrile rubber and a fluoroelastomer;
• the elastomer intermediate layer having an elasticity of non-linear spring characteristics and being effective in a direction perpendicular to the clutch disc plane;
• the improvement wherein said elastomer intermediate layer has unbonded, second surface regions facing said metal carrier sheet and said clutch lining;
• said elastomer intermediate layer being of such a configuration that in an absence of a compressive force applied to the clutch disc in a direction perpendicular to said clutch disc plane, said second surface regions are in their entirety spaced from said metal carrier sheet and upon applying a compressive force to the clutch disc in a direction perpendicular to said clutch disc plane, at least parts of said second surface regions assume a contacting relationship with at least one of said metal carrier sheet and said clutch lining.
