Patent ID: 7967122

Claim:
A torque transmission device for a drive train of a motor vehicle including a drive unit having a drive shaft and including a double clutch to transmit torque, said torque transmission device comprising: a transmission having a first, internally hollow transmission input shaft and a second transmission input shaft that is rotatably mounted within the first transmission shaft, wherein the transmission input shafts are non-rotatably connected to respective first and second clutch discs of the double clutch, each clutch disc having a friction lining, an intermediate pressure plate between the friction linings of the first clutch disc and the friction linings of the second clutch disc for connection of one of the clutch discs of the double clutch unit to the drive shaft of the drive unit, wherein the intermediate pressure plate extends radially outwardly of the internally hollow transmission input shaft, whereby the friction linings of the clutch discs are positioned between the intermediate pressure plate and pressure plates associated with the respective clutch discs that each move with the assistance of a respective actuation device in an axial direction relative to the intermediate pressure plate in reference to the transmission input shafts in order to operate the clutches, wherein one of the clutch discs attached to a transmission input shaft is a two-part structure that includes an inner part and an outer part that are coaxial relative to each other, wherein the intermediate pressure plate is mounted on a hub bearing that is releasably affixed to the drive-side end of the second transmission input shaft and that carries a radial bearing on which the intermediate pressure plate is supported, and wherein the double clutch is pre-mounted in a clutch housing as a sub-assembly that is axially releaseably engageable with an output element of a torsional vibration damper having an input element connected with the drive unit.
