Abstract
This relates to a diaphragm clutch mechanism comprising a cover, and a diaphragm spring connected to the cover for rocking movement with respect thereto. A pivot ring is provided as a support for the diaphragm spring, and this ring is anchored, at its internal periphery, between a bent-back part of the lugs fixing the diaphragm spring in a pivoting manner to the clutch cover, and a shoulder formed on the axial part of these lugs. This shoulder is in contact with only one of the axial edges of the axial part of the respective lug, so that the other axial edge of the axial part is substantially rectilinear.
