Abstract
A clutch throw-out device has a thrust bearing and a pressure plate. A radially extending flange on one of the bearing rings of the thrust bearing is coupled to the pressure plate, to inhibit relative rotation therebetween. The coupling includes projections on one of the flange or pressure plate extending into corresponding recesses of the other member at the coupling. The recesses are adequately large to permit radial movement, and elastic damping means are provided at least between the recesses and projections.
