  • Patent number: 11408469
    Abstract: A friction clutch for a drivetrain of a motor vehicle includes and input part, an output part, a spring device, a pressure pot, and a connecting means connecting the pressure pot to the inner-plate carrier. The input part includes an outer-plate carrier which is rotatable about an axis of rotation by a drive motor, and an outer plate rotationally fastened to the outer-plate carrier. The input part includes a rotor carrier, an inner-plate carrier separate from the rotor carrier, and an inner plate rotationally fastened to the inner-plate carrier. The spring device is for bracing the outer plate and the inner plate together with a pressing force to close the friction clutch. The connecting means includes an actuating surface via which the friction clutch can be actuated by an actuating device.

  • Patent number: 10197108
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spring element (4) for a friction device comprising a spring element body (10) having a first spring element body part (11) and a second spring element body part (12) arranged behind it in the axial direction, which rest on each other in some areas, and each spring element body part (11, 12) has receiving areas (15) arranged beside one another in a circumferential direction (13) for friction linings (2, 3) that can be fixed to both sides, and the first spring element body part (11) and the second spring element body part (12) are formed in a ring shape and a first and second receiving tab (19, 20) are formed for each receiving area (15) for the friction linings (2, 3), and the first receiving tab (19) is arranged underneath the second receiving tab (20) in the radial direction, and the first receiving tab (19) and the second receiving tab (20) of each receiving area (15) for the friction linings (2, 3) of the first spring element body part (11) are formed by the latter and the first
