Abstract
A friction clutch including a clutch disc member retained in a clutch outer member securely mounted on one of two opposing shafts and pressed against a rotationally blocked friction disc on the other shaft to transmit torque thereto. The clutch outer member has a notched cylindrical body, and the clutch disc member, which is accommodated in the cylindrical body, has a projection extending radially outwardly from a circumferential portion thereof and loosely fitted in the notch. The clutch construction ensures smooth coupling of the two shafts in spite of abrupt changes in load conditions, thus protecting the associated component parts from mechanical shocks.
