Abstract
A clutch plate comprises a plate body having a hub and a driven plate which is connected to the plate body through compression springs to rotate with it and extends radially beyond the plate body. A ring-shaped friction lining is secured on the driven plate by rivets, the head of which are sunk into the friction lining. The friction lining is made up of two layers of friction material, and underneath layer riveted to the driven plate and an upper layer stuck onto the lower layer of friction material to cover its whole surface.
