Abstract: A friction clutch for coupling a drive shaft of a motor vehicle motor to a transmission input shaft has an input part coupled to the drive shaft to introduce a torque of the drive shaft, an output part coupled to the transmission input shaft to extract a torque, a pressing part movable axially relative to the input part and to the output part to press the output part together frictionally with the input part, and a return spring in the form of a leaf spring to position the pressing part in a defined initial position relative to the input part, at least a part of the torque transferred by the input part being transferable through the return spring, where the return spring runs between a torque introduction point and a torque extraction point in an essentially tangential direction and runs at an oblique angle of incidence relative to a radial plane of the friction clutch.

Abstract: A dual clutch device having an input side, a first output side, and a second output side, which are arranged rotatably about an axis of rotation, and having a first, radially outer friction clutch for producing frictional engagement between the input side and the first output side and a second, radially inner friction clutch for producing frictional engagement between the input side and the second output side. Each friction clutch has a first friction element, which engages in the input side in a torque-transmitting manner, a second friction element, which engages in the associated output side in a torque-transmitting manner, a control element for providing an axially pressing force on the friction elements, and a leaf spring element, which is spirally wound around the axis of rotation and which is arranged axially between the control element and the friction elements.
