Patent ID: 7021448

Claim:
A clutch disk for a friction clutch, said clutch disk comprising: a friction lining carrier which can be mounted for rotation about an axis; at least one friction lining element connected to said friction lining carrier for rotation in common with said friction lining carrier, said at least one friction lining element being displaceable circumferentially with respect to said carrier by a limited amount, said each said friction lining element having a radially outer area; a restoring arrangement which preloads said at least one friction lining element against circumferential displacement with respect to said friction lining carrier; means for generating a friction force which opposes displacement of said at least one friction lining element with respect to said friction lining carrier; and at least one holding component holding each said friction lining element axially on the friction lining carrier, each said holding component having a radial retaining portion extending axially over each said radially outer area.
