Abstract
A driver disk for a clutch plate includes a facing carrier for holding friction facings. The facing carrier is designed in one piece with facing springs for axial suspension of the friction facings. The facing springs are constructed as pot-shaped protuberances and have a flat area provided for contacting the friction facings. Since the facing springs are made as one piece with the facing carrier, the driver disk has only a small number of structural component parts and can be produced very economically.
