Abstract
A clutch release bearing intended to act by traction. The clutch release bearing is fitted with a coupling device which is elastically deformable radially. The coupling device is attached through the intermediary of a coupling piece to a declutching device of the clutch. A bearing is provided to bear on the declutching device. The bearing has a bistable resilient washer which in a waiting position holds the coupling device in a retracted position, and through the intermediary of a ring frees the coupling device in the operating position. The clutch release bearing is particularly applicable to a self-centering clutch release bearing for automobiles.
