Abstract
in a clutch disk assembly, a pair of power output plates (3) and (4) are disposed on either side of a power input plate (2). The power output plates (3) and (4) arc fixed to a flange (27) of a power output hub (5). A torsion spring (6) is disposed between portions of the power input plate (2) and corresponding portions of the power output plates (3) and (4) such that the torsion spring (6) limits relative rotation between the power input plate (2) and power output plates (3) and (4) within a predetermined angular displacement range. A ring-like plate (33) is disposed between a portion of the power input plate (2) and the power output plate (4). The ring-like plate (33) is formed with a connecting part (36) which extends axially outward through a cutout (24) formed in the power output plate (4). A first friction washer (32) is disposed between a portion of the power input plate (2) and the ring-like plate (33). The first friction washer (32) contacts the power input plate (2). A second friction washer (34) is disposed between the ring-like plate (33) and the power output plate (4). The connecting part (36) has a circumferential length that is smaller that a circumferential length of the cutout (24). Therefore, the ring-lie plate (33) may undergo lied relative rotary displacement with respect to the power output plate (4).
