Abstract
A face clutch coupling device between rotating members comprises a first clutch element and a second clutch element which have face teeth and are movable relative to one another between a disengagement position and an engagement position in which the rotating members are coupled for rotation with one another. The device also comprises braking members which are associated with the clutch elements and by virtue of which, when there is relative motion between the rotating members, a preliminary driving interaction of the rotating members is brought about in the engagement position.
