Abstract: A friction clutch includes a driving gearwheel, a clutch hub, and a clutch cage. The clutch cage and the clutch hub are coupled together by way of non-positive frictional forces in the clutch cage. A driving disc is fixed to the clutch cage, and a gearbox input shaft is in toothed or splined engagement with the clutch hub. Torsional springs are interposed between the clutch cage and a driving gearwheel to permit the driving gearwheel to rotate within a limited range of motion with respect to the clutch cage. The driving gearwheel meshes with a primary gearwheel on a crankshaft. The crankshaft drives rotation of the gearbox input shaft through the driving gearwheel, the torsional springs, the clutch cage, and the clutch hub. A friction device is interposed between a collar of the driving gearwheel and the driving disc. The friction device damps torsional vibrations by non-positively coupling the driving gearwheel with the driving disc in the radial direction.

Abstract: This lubricating device for a wet multi-disk clutch, which is suitable particularly for use in internal combustion engines of motorcycles, comprises several disks, which are combined into a disk package between an outer hub and an inner hub and surround the outside of a jacket part of the inner hub and, over openings of the lubricating device in the jacket part, are supplied with lubricating oil from a drive shaft having a borehole. To achieve optimum lubrication of the disks, the inside of the jacket part, which is provided with openings, is provided, as seen in the axial direction of the jacket part, with a bevel, which extends from a bottom to a free end of the inner hub, which has a radial oil-damming web and is adjacent to the free end.

Abstract: A convertible top with a flexible window pane made of plastic is provided with a protective cover so that the flexible window pane, which is susceptible to scratching will not be damaged when passing through an automatic car wash installation. The protective cover, which can be mounted and dismounted in a fast and simple manner, is provided on the exterior side of the flexible window pane.
