In a multiple disc clutch apparatus, a cam memberwhich is disposed on a side of a clutch inner memberis formed into an annular shape. The cam memberextends in a radial direction so that an outer circumferential surface of the cam memberis brought into abutment with a cylindrical faceon an inner circumferential surface of a clutch center member

Multiple disc clutch apparatus

A dry multiple-disk clutch for transmitting power from the crankshaft of a motorcycle to a transmission input shaft and cutting off power transmission includes an outer clutch member interlocked with the crankshaft so as to be driven for rotation, a plurality of driving friction disks interlocked with the outer clutch member, a plurality of driven friction disks alternated with the driving friction disks and interlocked with the transmission input shaft, and a pressure member disposed opposite to the outer clutch member with the driving and the driven friction disks arranged alternately between the outer clutch member and the pressure member, and capable of moving in opposite axial direction to compress the driving and the driven friction disks together and to disengage the driven friction disks from the driving friction disks. Additionally, strap plates are disposed between a peripheral part of the outer clutch member and a peripheral part of the driving friction disks so as to be substantially tangent to the circumferences of the driving friction disks, and connect the respective peripheral parts of the outer clutch member and the driving friction disks to transmit the rotation of the outer clutch member to the driving friction disks.
