Abstract: A clutch cover assembly for a diaphragm spring friction clutch has a generally annular clutch cover with a plurality of circumferentially arranged holes in the cover, a diaphragm spring attached to the clutch cover and having an annular portion and a plurality of inwardly projecting spring fingers integral therewith, and a pressure plate secured to the cover so that the diaphragm spring is interposed between the cover and the pressure plate. The diaphragm spring is attached to the clutch cover by a plurality of individual wire members each of which passes through two of the plurality of circumferentially arranged holes in the cover and encompasses one finger of the diaphragm spring and a portion of the cover.

Abstract: A dual clutch, e.g. for agricultural tractors having separate wheel and power take off drives, has a driving plate spaced from a flywheel with two pressure plates interposed. A single Belleville spring clamps one driven plate between one pressure plate and the flywheel and the other driven plate between the other pressure plate and the driving plate. A plurality of release levers pivot on the driving plate to each operate the one pressure plate through a link and the other pressure plate through an adjustable toggle mechanism. The driven plates may drive the same shaft.
