Abstract
A hub ring for use in a clutch disk includes an inner circumference which can engage a hub; and a pair of axially opposed front sides.

Claims24
A hub ring for use in a clutch disk, the hub ring comprising:
- an inner circumference which can engage a hub;
- and
- a pair of axially opposed front sides, each of the front sides having means for positively engaging a structural component arranged against the front side so that torque can be transmitted from the structural component to the hub.
A clutch disk comprising:
- a hub;
- a hub ring having an inner circumference which engages the hub with play and a pair of axially opposed front sides;
- a pair of cover plates having a respective pair of axially opposed undersides which are arranged coaxially against respective said axially opposed front sides of the hub ring, wherein the undersides and the front sides have means for positively engaging each other so that torque can be transmitted from the cover plate to the hub ring;
- means for securing the hub ring and at least one of the cover plates to each other, said means comprising at least one rivet received in the hub ring and the respective at least one of the cover plates;
- and
- at least one torsional vibration damper received between the cover plates.
