Abstract

An actuating assembly, for coupling a clutch release bearing in traction to the diaphragm of a clutch of an automotive vehicle, includes an actuating member carrying a coupling piece and including a flange having two distinct openings separated by a bridge portion. The coupling piece has two arms which are arranged to hook one over the other, and which extend through the openings in the flange. Each arm of the couplings has at least one local deformation which increases its length in a resilient manner.
