  • Drive connection for the pressure plate of a friction clutch
    Patent number: 4081064
    Abstract: An improved drive connection for a pressure plate of a friction clutch includes replaceable wear shoes especially adapted for retention in position so as to avoid the imposition of damaging stresses, thereon, including a barrier wall for deflecting air currents from the interface of the wear shoe with the housing, and further includes a damper spring which exerts a resilient bias between a pressure plate and housing both tangentially and parallel with respect to the axis of the clutch.
