Patent ID: 7992697

Claim:
A friction device ( 10 ) for a clutch of a motor vehicle, comprising: first ( 11 ) and second ( 12 ) friction lining members, coaxial to a center axis (C) thereof, separated axially, and delimited by opposite friction faces; and connection means ( 21 ) connecting the two friction lining members ( 11 , 12 ) fixed together; the first friction lining member ( 11 ) having a generally annular shape; the connection means ( 21 ) comprising first connection tongues ( 22 ) each provided with a first fixing end ( 22 A) fixed to an internal contour of the first friction lining member ( 11 ) and a second fixing end ( 22 B) fixed to the second friction lining member ( 12 ); the first ( 22 A) and second ( 22 B) fixing ends of each of the first connection tongues ( 22 ) being variably angularly offset from each other with respect to a plane perpendicular to the center axis (C) as a function of the axial separation of the first and second friction lining members ( 11 , 12 ).
