Abstract
The fluid friction clutch for the cooling fan of an internal combustion engine carries, on the front of its housing, a bimetallic element on the longitudinal ends of which flexible retaining tabs are formed. The retaining tabs are bent over towards the front and riveted with the front. The securing of the bimetallic element is especially durable.
