Abstract
A housing for a plate clutch having a toothed ring with a plurality of plate driving teeth which are arranged at an inner circumferential surface of the same so as to be distributed in the circumferential direction and which extend in a longitudinal direction of the ring. A flywheel is connected with the toothed ring at a first end of the same so as to rotate jointly therewith. A cover is connected with the toothed ring at a second end for joint rotation, wherein at least one of the flywheel and cover is connected with the toothed ring by a fastening arrangement. The fastening arrangement includes, in at least one of the plate driving teeth, a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the ring and opening toward the one of either the flywheel and cover, and a fastening bolt element which is associated with this recess and which penetrates a fastening opening of either the flywheel or cover and projects into the associated recess. The fastening bolt element can be or is brought into a fastening engagement at a fastening portion of the same with a counter-fastening component. In this respect, it is further provided that the counter-fastening component has a counter-fastening portion which is arranged or can be arranged in the recess and by which the fastening portion of the fastening bolt element can be brought into a fastening engagement.
