Patent ID: 8789675

Claim:
A clutch device comprising: at least one torque transfer device that can be engaged and disengaged in an axial direction and is frictionally engaged in the engaged state; and, at least one wear adjustment device comprising: at least one rotatable adjusting ring; at least one rotatably supported spindle drive with a drive pinion, which acts on the adjusting ring; and at least one drive assembly wherein when the torque transfer device is in the engaged state, the at least one drive assembly includes: at least one drive pawl, the free end of which may be made to engage with the drive pinion in an essentially positive engagement; and at least one bias spring: which is spaced at least partially at a distance from the drive pawl; which may be made to engage with the drive pinion; and which is pre-tensioned in the axial direction, to turn the spindle drive in the case of wear, wherein the pre-tensioning force of the drive assembly is stepped, and, the at least one bias spring includes: an inner end in the radial direction that fits against a spring segment of the drive pawl; and, an outer end in the radial direction spaced apart from the spring segment of the drive pawl by a stop.
