Abstract
The present invention relates to a clutch disc in which the output part is composed of two elements which on one hand run alongside a hub disc for an idle device, and on the other hand are engaged by means of radial arms in apertures of an intermediate part, to apply pressure to two sets of springs which are located in those apertures and connected in series. The two-piece output part can thereby be prefabricated with the intermediate part and the hub disc for the idle damper as a separate unit.
