Abstract:
A clutch assembly including a cover and a mounting ring having a plurality of arms extending outwardly to a strap mount. The assembly includes strap springs. Each strap spring has a first end connected to the strap mount and a second end opposite the first. The clutch assembly includes an annular pressure plate and a plurality of outwardly extending tabs. Each tab is releasably connected to the second end of a corresponding strap spring so the strap springs biases the pressure plate away from the flywheel. The assembly includes a keeper and a resilient diaphragm spring that biases the pressure plate toward the flywheel, deforming each strap spring, so the strap spring biases the annular pressure plate away from the flywheel. The diaphragm ring is resiliently deformable to a deformed position, allowing each strap spring to move the pressure plate away from the flywheel.

Claim (Index 15):
A clutch assembly as set forth in  claim 14  in combination with:\n a first friction disc positioned between said primary pressure plate and said secondary pressure plate, said first friction disc including a first friction surface surrounding a central hub facing the primary pressure plate and a second friction surface surrounding the central hub facing the secondary pressure plate, said primary pressure plate engaging the first friction surface of the first friction disc when axially moved to the engaged position, constituting a first engaged position, the second friction surface of the first friction disc engaging the secondary pressure plate when axially moved past the first engaged position to a second engaged position; and \n a second friction disc positioned between said secondary pressure plate and the flywheel, said second friction disc including a first friction surface surrounding a central hub facing the secondary pressure plate and a second friction surface surrounding the central hub facing the flywheel, said secondary pressure plate engaging the first friction surface of the second friction disc when axially moved to a third engaged position, the second friction surface of the of the second friction disc engaging the flywheel when axially moved past the third engaged position to a fourth engaged position, in which contacting interfaces between the pressure plate and the first friction disc, between the first friction disc and the secondary pressure plate, between the secondary pressure plate and the second friction disc, and between the second friction disc and the flywheel are capable of transmitting torque between the cover and the central hubs of the primary and second friction discs.
