Patent ID: 8276727

Claim:
A double clutch, comprising: a first component clutch by which a driveshaft of a drive is connectable to a first transmission input shaft of a transmission; a second component clutch by which the driveshaft of the drive is connectable to a second transmission input shaft of the transmission; a first lever, a second lever; and an actuating device, wherein the first component clutch is open in a non-actuated state and the actuating device generates a tensile actuating force at an inner periphery of the first lever that is applied in a first direction so as to pull the first component clutch to a closed position, and the second component clutch is closed in a non-actuated state and the actuating device generates a pressure actuating force at an inner periphery of the second lever that is applied in a second direction so as to push the second component clutch to an open position, such that the tensile actuating force of the first component clutch, which is pulled in the first direction acts counter to the pressure actuating force of the second component clutch, which is pushed in the second direction.
