Abstract
The invention concerns a clutch mechanism for friction clutch, in particular for motor vehicles, comprising a cover (8) with a transversely oriented base (80) and means (81) for fixing the clutch mechanism on a rotating flywheel (1), a pressure plate (3), elastic tabs linking in rotation, with axial mobility, the pressure plate (3) in rotation with the cover (8), axially operating elastic clutching means (7) axially stressing the pressure plate (8) in the opposite direction from the cover (8) base (80) and a disengaging device countering at will the action of said elastic clutching means (7): said elastic clutching means (7) are associated with two elastic washers (4, 6) mounted between the pressure plate (3) and the cover (8), and adapted to act on the pressure plate (3) parallel relative to the elastic clutching means (7) in a direction disengaging the clutch.
