Abstract

Abstract Clutch disk including at least two damping devices disposed in an energy transfer path between a friction lining support and a respective output member, one of the damping devices being effective over a given rotary angle by itself, and the other of the damping devices being effective over a further rotary angle either without the given rotary angle of the one damping device or in addition thereto, both of the output members being profiled parts matching the other mating profiled parts, the profiled part of the other of the damping devices being a hub member having torsional play with respect to the profiled part mating therewith which corresponds to the torsional play of the one damping device, the output member for the one damping device being within the axial extension of the hub member for the other damping device, and extending in radial direction through the hub member, both of the output members matching with a common mating profile.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 170 words
Clutch disk comprising at least two damping devices disposed in an energy transfer path between a friction lining support and an output member of the clutch disk, said support and said output member rotatable relative to each other, each of said damping devices including an input part and an output member, one of said damping devices being effective over a given rotary angle by itself, and the second of said damping devices being effective over a further rotary angle, both of the output members of said first and second damping devices having profiled parts matching other mating profiled parts, the profiled part of the second of said damping devices being a hub member capable of relative rotation with respect to the profiled mating part corresponding to the rotary angle over which said first damping device is effective by itself, said output member for said first damping device disposed within the axial extension of said hub member for said second damping device, and extends in radial direction through said hub member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 38 words
Clutch disk according to claim 1 wherein said mating profiled parts is a common mating profile matched by both of said output members of said first and said second damping devices and is toothing of a transmission shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 38 words
Clutch disk according to claim 1 wherein said hub member is formed with at least one recess extending in axial direction but limited in peripheral direction, said output member of said first damping device projecting into said recess.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 58 words
Clutch disk according to claim 3 wherein said output member of said first damping device is a part annularly surrounding said hub member of said second damping device and is formed with at least one region thereof radially extending into said recess, said region of said output member having a profile corresponding to that of said mating profile.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
Clutch disk according to claim 4 wherein said annular part is a sheetmetal part.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 224 words
Clutch disk comprising at least two damping devices disposed in an energy transfer path between a friction lining support and an output member of the clutch disk, said support and said output member rotatable relative to each other, each of said damping devices including an input part and an output member, one of said damping devices being effective over a given rotary angle by itself, and the second of said damping devices being effective over a further rotary angle, both of the output members of said first and second damping devices having profiled parts matching other mating profiled parts, the profiled part of the second of said damping devices being a hub member capable of relative rotation with respect to the profiled mating part corresponding to the rotary angle over which said first damping device is effective by itself, said output member for said first damping device disposed within the axial extension of said hub member for said second damping device, and extends in radial direction through said hub member and wherein a recess formed in said hub member through which said output member extends radially inwardly, serves as a stop for said radially inwardly extending output member by limiting rotation in either rotary direction of the output part of said first damping device relative to the hub member of said second damping device.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 224 words
Clutch disk comprising at least two damping devices disposed in an energy transfer path between a friction lining support and an output member of the clutch disk, said support and said output member rotatable relative to each other, each of said damping devices including an input part and an output member, one of said damping devices being effective over a given rotary angle by itself, and the second of said damping devices being effective over a further rotary angle, both of the output members of said first and second damping devices having profiled parts matching other mating profiled parts, the profiled part of the second of said damping devices being a hub member capable of relative rotation with respect to the profiled mating part corresponding to the rotary angle over which said first damping device is effective by itself, said output member for said first damping device disposed within the axial extension of said hub member for said second damping device, and extends in radial direction through said hub member and wherein a recess formed in said hub member through which said output member extends radially inwardly, serves as a stop for said radially inwardly extending output member by limiting rotation in either rotary direction of the output part of said first damping device relative to the hub member of said second damping device.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 233 words
