Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly of two members (10, 11). The first member (11) has a thrust portion (16) whereby it bears axially on the second member (10), on a first surface of the latter. The first member also has tabs (17) whereby it extends through the second member (10). Between the second member (10) and the tabs (17) of the first member (11), on the surface of the second member opposite to first member, an axially acting resilient ring (22) of the Belleville washer type is interposed. The invention is particularly applicable to the diaphragm of a clutch mechanism, particularly for an automobile, whereby it is attached to the securing member carried on the diaphragm to permit a declutching surface to be attached to the latter.
