Abstract
A clutch facing includes an annular reinforcing plate made of metal material, a friction lining bonded on the outer side of the annular reinforcing plate, and another lining bonded on the inner side of the annular reinforcing plate. The annular reinforcing plate is secured to a clutch driven plate assembly by a plurality of rivets. The head portions of the rivets are entirely received in the extruded pocket portions of the annular reinforcing plate, so that the clutch facing will be useful until the friction lining is worn off. Another lining is made of suitable material having a lower comparative cost than the friction lining. An additional lining prevents the annular reinforcing plate from corrosion and prevents the friction lining from experiencing a pressure difference on the friction surface of the friction lining.
