Abstract
The friction clutch comprises a reaction plate designed to be blocked on a driving shaft, a friction disk, bearing at its external periphery friction linings, a pressure plate, a cover (52) fixed on the reaction plate, an axially operating clutching device (53) controlled by a disengaging device and which operate between the cover (52) and the pressure plate through a support device, the pressure plate being integral in rotation with the cover (52) and being subjected to the action of an elastic return device (9) axially returning the pressure plate towards the cover (52). The clutch also comprises a wear take-up device comprising a toothed gear (59) with which a worm screw (63) co-operates and a device (90) for resetting in the position corresponding to linings in new condition, the device (90) being placed at the worm screw (63) tip to drive the latter in rotation.
