Abstract: A clutch disc assembly comprises a pair of annular friction members each having an annular friction material layer bonded to an annular backing plate. The pair of friction members are secured in spaced apart relationship to an inner disc by segmentally shape corrugated leaf springs and rivets. The rivets are situated radially inwardly from the annular friction material layers so that the full thickness of the friction material may be used during the life of the clutch disc.
