Summary:A friction clutch wherein the pressure plate at one side of the clutch disc is axially movably connected with a cover by a set of leaf springs. The cover is driven by the crankshaft of the engine. The pressure plate is biased against the adjacent lining of the clutch disc by a diaphragm spring whose radially outermost portion reacts against the cover and which bears against the pressure plate in a region which is located somewhat inwardly of the radially outermost portion. The clutch disc is disposed between the axially movable pressure plate and a counterpressure plate which is non-rotatably affixed to the support by a distancing component made of sheet metal and holding the counterpressure plate at a fixed distance from the support. The distancing component has a clamping portion overlying that side of the counterpressure plate which faces away from the support.
