Abstract

A friction clutch device, in particular for a drive train of a motor vehicle which is driven by internal, combustion engine, having a rotational axis, a housing, at least one pressure plate which can be displaced in the direction of the rotational axis relative to the housing for an actuation, and a spring device for loading the at least one pressure plate, in which friction clutch device the spring device has a first element for generating a pressure force which acts on the at least one pressure plate, and a second element which is separate structurally from the first element for transmitting an actuating force, in order to improve the friction clutch structurally and/or functionally.

First claim

We claim:

1. A friction clutch device for a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a housing;
a pressure plate rotatable about an axis of rotation of the friction clutch device, the pressure plate being axially displaceable relative to the housing in a direction of the axis of rotation, the pressure plate including a radial inner surface including bearing sections, the pressure plate including an axial support surface forming a supporting section facing the housing;
a spr…
