Abstract
The invention relates to a transmission device which is located between the crankshaft of an engine and a clutch and is designed with a flexible plate in contact with the crankshaft, and which can be connected to the flexible plate by means of connecting elements which are engaged from the crankshaft side via the flexible plate in a fastening element of the clutch and have a retaining part for the flexible plate, so that the installation of the fastening element and the flexible plate can be performed as quickly as possible and without causing any damage. For this purpose, the connecting elements with their retaining parts for the installation of the flexible plate project from the fastening element by a distance which exceeds the thickness of the flexible plate. The flexible plate is provided with through holes for the connecting elements, adjacent to each of which there is a corresponding guide slot running in the direction of movement relative to the installation motion of the fastening element relative to the flexible plate, whereby the width of the guide slot perpendicular to its longitudinal direction is approximately equal to the cross section of the connecting means which t…
