OSTI ID:7142407
This patent describes a clutch driven plate assembly for an automotive vehicle clutch driving a transmission input shaft. The plate assembly comprises a hub assembly having an inner hub with a barrel splined onto the input shaft and external backlashing splines, and an outer hub having a barrel with internal backlashing splines and an integral radial flange. The plate assembly includes: a clutch plate carrying friction facings at the outer periphery thereof and a spring retainer plate secured to the clutch plate to sandwich the outer hub flange therebetween. The plates and outer hub flange have axially aligned coinciding sets of circumferentially spaced windows therein, and damper springs received in each set of windows. The improvement described here comprises: a cam retainer received on the inner hub to rotate therewith and has camming recesses facing the outer hub, and plungers yieldably biased on the outer hub barrel such that rotation of the plates, damper springs and outer hub relative to the inner hub and retainer causes the plungers to cam out of the cam retainer recesses.
