Abstract: A clutch cover assembly is used for urging a friction member connected to an output member against an input rotation member and for releasing urging on the input rotation member. The clutch cover assembly comprises a clutch cover, a pressure plate, an urging member, a support mechanism and a movement regulation mechanism. The clutch cover is fixed to the input rotation member. The pressure plate is located within the clutch cover and urges the friction member. The urging member urges the pressure plate toward the friction member. The support mechanism is movable toward the friction member and supports the urging member. The movement regulation mechanism moves the support member toward the friction member according to wear displacement of the friction member.

Abstract: The clutch cover assembly comprises a clutch cover, a pressure place, a fulcrum ring, a diaphragm spring, and a diaphragm spring posture maintenance mechanism. The maintenance mechanism includes an adjustment mechanism which is composed with a pair of wedge mechanisms inclined surfaces of which extend in the circumferential direction and keep in contact with each other, and a spring for urging one of the wedge mechanisms against the other in the circumferential direction so as to move either one of the wedge mechanisms in the axial direction. Since adjustment mechanism functions by the circumferential wedge mechanisms, it is possible to accurately maintain the diaphragm spring posture without being affected by the engine rotation speed.

Abstract: A clutch cover assembly having a clutch cover fixed to the input rotation member of an engine; a pressure plate disposed within the clutch cover, having a pressing surface for clutching one side of a friction member; a support member disposed opposite the pressing surface side of the pressure plate being non-rotatable with respect to the pressure plate and movable in the axial direction; a pressing member urging the pressure plate toward the input rotation member via the support member, the pressing member and the support member having a predetermined position relative each other initially; a wear compensation device disposed between the pressure plate and the support member, which restrictively supporting the support member at the predetermined position, and displacing the support member with respect to the pressure plate and thereby returning the support member to the predetermined position with respect to the pressing member after the support member and the pressure plate were displaced from the predetermi

Abstract: A clutch device comprises an input part 3 to which power from a crankshaft 2 is inputted, an output part disposed concentrically with the input part 3 and connectable to an input shaft of a transmission, a clutch body 5, a pressure plate 40, and a main cone spring 41. The clutch body 5 has friction discs 20 and 21 connected to the input part 3 and a driven plate 31 connected to the output part 4. The pressure plate 40 presses the friction discs 20 and 21 and the driven plate 31 against each other. The main cone spring 41 urges the pressure plate 40 so that the friction discs 20 and 21 and the driven plate 31 are pressed against each other. Further, the friction disc 21 is provided with serrations or teeth 21a on an inner radial surface thereof. The input part 3 is provided with retractable gear teeth 23 which engage the teeth 21a to allow for rotation of the friction disk 21 with the input part 3 in one rotational direction but not in the other rotational direction.

Abstract: A clutch cover assembly 3 having a disk-shaped clutch cover 4, an annular pressure plate 5, a cone spring 6, and a diaphragm spring 7. The pressure plate 5 is disposed in the clutch cover 4 and has a pressing surface 5a. The cone spring 6 is disposed on the opposite side of the pressure plate 5 in the clutch cover 4, and has its radial inner end supported on the clutch cover and its radial outer end biasing the pressure plate 5. Within the clutch cover, a hardened support member coupled to the cover is provided to engage at least one inner portion of the cone spring 6 in order to minimize wear associated with engagement with the spring 6 as it moves in response to movement of the pressure plate 5. The hardened support member is provided in the present invention is a number of forms. In one embodiment the hardened support member is integrally formed with the clutch cover 4.
