  • Patent number: 11391329
    Abstract: A transmission mechanism for actuating a friction clutch, which can be disengaged against a spring force and is arranged between an internal combustion engine and a manual transmission, includes two lockable elements that are movable toward one another longitudinally to automatically change the length and compensate for clutch wear. The first element consists of a spindle which is coupled to a non-rotatable component of a disengagement mechanism of the friction clutch in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable manner and has a steep-pitch external thread. The second element consists of a nut having a steep-pitch internal thread into which the spindle can be screwed, the pitch of the steep-pitch thread being dimensioned in such a way that no self-locking can occur between the two elements.

    Abstract: A transmission mechanism (1) for actuating a friction clutch, which can be disengaged against a spring force and is arranged between an internal combustion engine and a manual transmission, includes two lockable elements (11, 16) that are movable toward one another longitudinally to automatically change the length and compensate for clutch wear. The first element (16) consists of a spindle (16) which is coupled to a non-rotatable component of a disengagement mechanism of the friction clutch in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable manner and has a steep-pitch external thread (19). second element (11) consists of a nut (11) having a steep-pitch internal thread (15) which is complementary thereto and into which the spindle (16) can be screwed, the pitch of the steep-pitch thread (15, 19) being dimensioned in such a way that no self-locking can occur between the two elements (11, 16).
