Abstract
A disc assembly comprises a plurality of substantially radially spaced spokes joined together by intermediate walls of flexible material. The disc assembly can be used to transmit forces in a force transmission system such as a multiple disc clutch. Such a system comprises a member for applying an input force, a member for receiving an output force, and the inventive annular disc assembly, the disc assembly having force transmission and force application regions at its inner and outer edges and at an intermediate region, the noted members being in engagement with at least some of the force transmission and force application regions.
