Abstract

The invention relates to a twin-disc clutch with the intermediate plate controlled via a lever mechanism. For easier adjustment of the displacement force of the adjusting device which is provided, this latter is mounted in the center between the axes of rotation of the levers on the intermediate plate. In the case of one embodiment, the levers are guided on the tangential leaf springs; in another embodiment, they are provided at one end with a bearing point while at the other end they are free.
