Abstract
In a multi-disc clutch or brake, several lamellae in the form of annular discs cannot only be fixed essentially non-rotatably, relative to a lamella carrier fixed in terms of rotation in relation to one of the two clutch or brake parts, by means of a releasable positive connection but can also each be supported radially exclusively at an individual point on the lamella carrier, each by means of its own resilient clamping means, the clamping means being retained on the lamella carrier. At least one central annular gap located, in the peripheral direction of the axis of rotation, between two engaging teeth of the positive connection and open in the two directions of the axis of rotation is limited radially in one directions by a cylindrical shell portion of a lamella and in the other direction by a cylindrical shell portion of the lamella carrier. The engagement surface of the clamping means, used for the purpose of support, is located in the annular gap and interacts with the shell portion of the lamella. So that even thinner lamellae can be used, the two clamping means for two lamellae succeeding one another in the directions of the axis of rotation are arranged on different legs of a comb-shaped holder. Each leg of the holder can be inserted into a separate annular gap.
