Abstract
The invention relates to automobile friction clutch driven plates, and in particular to driven plates having idling vibration dampers and load vibration dampers. The friction clutch driven plate includes two concentric hub members. On one hub member is mounted a friction facing carrier capable of limited restrained angular movement about the hub axis relative to the hub members. The friction facing carrier and the other hub member have spring seatings, being hub member seatings and carrier seatings, so that springs acting between the seatings oppose relative rotational movement between the hub members. The construction of the driven plate is made compact and simplified by having the hub member seatings and carrier seatings in a common radial plane.
