Patent ID: 7354032

Claim:
Two components ( 3 , 6 ) braced against one another in one direction, under the force of a plate spring ( 1 ) mounted to be secured against axial displacement, of which a first component ( 3 ) of these components passes through a second ( 6 ) in this direction, as an accommodation body for the plate spring ( 1 ), in a surface that is cylindrical, at least in segments, wherein the plate spring ( 1 ) is configured radially on the outside as a circular ring segment that is closed in the circumference direction, a circumferential groove ( 4 ) for accommodation and axial fixation of the radial inner and outer region of the plate spring ( 1 ) is provided in the circular-cylindrical surface region of the accommodation body formed by the first component ( 3 ), whereby this inner region of the plate spring ( 1 ) serves as its fixation region, the ring flank of the circumferential groove ( 4 ) that supports the plate spring ( 1 ) is disposed within the first component ( 3 ) that serves as an accommodation body, at a distance from the contact surface of the plate spring ( 1 ) on the second component ( 6 ), which corresponds to the height of the plate spring in a biased state during assembly, the plate spring ( 1 ) is broken up, in its fixation region, into a plurality of spring webs ( 5 ) that stand freely away radially, in each instance, and are spaced apart from one another, wherein the transition regions of the spring webs ( 5 ) to the closed, outer mantle surface of the plate spring ( 1 ) jointly take up a proportion of not more than 15% of the inside circumference of the closed, outer mantle surface of the plate spring.
