Patent ID: 7743898

Claim:
Clutch arrangement in radially nested configuration, said clutch arrangement comprising: radial outer multiple disk clutch having outer disks and inner disks; radial inner multiple disk clutch having outer disks and inner disks; a common disk support for the radial outer multiple disk clutch and the radial inner multiple disk clutch, the common disk support being operable for supporting the outer disks of the radial inner multiple disk clutch and the inner disks of the radial outer multiple disk clutch; a common endplate is provided for the radial inner multiple disk clutch and the radial outer multiple disk clutch; and a hollow cylindrical section with a meander-like cross section formed as part of the common disk support about an axis of rotation of the common-disk support, so that on the outer peripheral side an outer toothing is formed for the accommodation of an inner toothing of the inner disks of the radial outer multiple disk clutch and on the inner peripheral side an inner toothing is formed for the accommodation of an outer toothing of the outer disks of the radial inner multiple disk clutch such that the inner toothing of the inner disks of the radial outer multiple disk clutch overlap radially with the outer toothing of the outer disks of the radial inner multiple disk clutch; said radial outer multiple disk clutch being located radially within said radial outer multiple disk clutch and in partially the same axial section as the disk package of the radial outer multiple disk clutch, wherein the common disk support has a peripheral groove for the accommodation of a safety ring for limiting the displaceability of the common endplate in an axial direction.
