Patent ID: 7607525

Claim:
A friction device ( 10 ) for a clutch for a motor vehicle, comprising first ( 24 A) and second ( 24 B) friction lining members, substantially annular and coaxial with a rotation axis ( 11 ) of the friction device ( 10 ), separated axially and delimited by opposing friction faces, wherein the first friction lining member ( 24 A) comprises: a first friction lining ( 26 A); and a substantially annular first support ( 28 A) including: a radially external part ( 32 A) fixed to the first friction lining ( 26 A); a radially internal part ( 30 A) connected to the second friction lining member ( 24 B); and elastic connecting tongues ( 35 A) each provided with a first end ( 36 A) for connection with the radially external part ( 32 A) and a second end for connection with the radially internal part ( 30 A), the first ( 36 A) and second ( 38 A) connecting ends being variably angularly offset from each other with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis according to the axial separation of the first and second friction lining members ( 24 A, 24 B).
