Abstract
A spring (40) comprises a folded metal leaf including a mounting portion (42) which is joined elastically by its sides, which are circumferentially spaced apart (46, 48), to two rigid actuating portions (58, 60), a first rigid portion (58) lying parallel to the axis of the disc and being capable of pushing elastically by its two free ends the support plates (26, 28) in a direction which is essentially circumferential (T), a second (60) of the rigid portions (58, 60) also lying parallel to the axis of the disc and being capable of pushing elastically, by its two free ends, the support plates (26, 28) essentially radially (R) toward the axis of the disc.
