Abstract
A sub-assembly for a diaphragm clutch comprises a clutch cover, a diaphragm, and connecting means rockably fastening the diaphragm to the cover with the interposition of a supporting washer. The connecting means comprise flat, relatively thin claws which extend from the front face of the cover through openings in the diaphragm and which are provided at the end of their axial portion with a wing portion which is bent over to retain the supporting washer; the entire supporting washer is disposed radially outside the diameter on which the axially extending portion of the claws lie.
