Abstract
A cone clutch for a vehicle including a hub, a sleeve, and a clutch ring including a clutch cone, may further include a first friction ring for forming frictional force with the clutch cone, an internal middle cone, a second friction ring, an external middle cone, and a third friction ring, which are sequentially mounted to be brought into contact with each other. When the third friction ring is pressed by the sleeve and the third friction ring, the external middle cone, the second friction ring, the internal middle cone, the first friction ring, and the clutch cone are sequentially brought into close contact with each other, the distances from the hub in an axial direction gradually increase in the order of the first friction ring, the internal middle cone, the second friction ring, the external middle cone, and the third friction ring.
