Abstract
A friction clutch wherein the clutch spring is held between two seats at one side of the clutch cover has an annular set of beams one end of each of which is integral with a discrete torsion bar of the cover and the other end of each of which carries one head of a rivet having a second head overlying that seat which is remote from the cover. The beams and/or the torsion bars are deformed during assembly of the clutch so that the rivets urge the remote seat toward the spring and the latter is urged against the other seat.
