Abstract
A clutch comprises a reaction plate, a cover plate, a pressure plate, at least two friction discs arranged between the pressure and reaction plates, and at least two intermediate discs. The friction discs are arranged alternately with the intermediate discs. The latter are coupled for rotation with the reaction plate by virtue of at least one intermediate driving member. The intermediate discs carry a first part of a coupling of the tenon and mortice type, while the intermediate member carries the second part of the same coupling. The first part of the coupling comprises at least two elements, at least one of which defines an axis of symmetry which is not coincident with the center of rotation of the associated intermediate disc.
