Abstract
A hub clutch assembly has a cover and a gasket which can be easily mounted to an end of the cover. In a hub clutch assembly in which an end of a wheel hub is closed by a cover tightened with a gasket sandwiched therebetween, the cover is formed with positioning grooves along its inner edge. Along its inner edge, the gasket is formed with positioning claws to be engaged in the grooves and claws to be press-fitted into the cover to prevent the gasket from coming off the cover. The gasket can thus be mounted to the cover simply by inserting the claws into the cover.
