Abstract
Abstract The disengaging device for a double friction clutch, particularly the starting-up and gear shifting clutch as well as the power take-off clutch of an agricultural tractor vehicle comprises a housing in which, adapted to have hydraulic pressure applied to them, there are formed two coaxially interengaging annular cylindrical spaces. Axially displaceable independently of each other within the annular cylindrical spaces are annular pistons which carry mutually coaxial disengaging bearings. The housing preferably consists of three separate cylindrical tubes which carry radially outwardly projecting annular flanges at their ends which are axially remote from the disengaging bearings and are fixed to one another via these annular flanges. The disengaging device is compact both axially and also radially.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A disengaging device for a double friction clutch having mutually coaxial disengaging members comprising (a) located coaxially within each other two disengaging bearings each with one rotating bearing ring and one non-rotating bearing ring, (b) disposed coaxially alongside the disengaging bearings a substantially annular housing with two coaxially interengaged circularly cylindrical spaces which are open towards the disengaging bearings and adapted to have hydraulic pressure applied to them separately, said spaces being separated radially from each other by a cylindrical separating wall and being closed on the side which is axially remote from the disengaging bearings, (c) an annular piston in each of the annularly cylindrical spaces which, sealed in the annular cylindrical space is guided for axial displacement independently of the annular piston of the other annularly cylindrical space, protruding from the annularly cylindrical space and carrying one of the disengaging bearings on its projecting end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A disengaging device for a double friction clutch having mutually coaxial disengaging members comprising (a) located coaxially within each other two disengaging bearings each with one rotating bearing ring and one non-rotating bearing ring, (b) disposed coaxially alongside the disengaging bearings a substantially annular housing with two coaxially interengaged circularly cylindrical spaces which are open towards the disengaging bearings and adapted to have hydraulic pressure applied to them separately, said spaces being separated radially from each other by a cylindrical separating wall and being closed on the side which is axially remote from the disengaging bearings, (c) an annular piston in each of the annularly cylindrical spaces which, sealed in the annular cylindrical space is guided for axial displacement independently of the annular piston of the other annularly cylindrical space, protruding from the annularly cylindrical space and carrying one of the disengaging bearings on its projecting end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
A disengaging device according to claim 1, wherein the housing has, forming the two annularly cylindrical spaces, three coaxially interengaging cylindrical tubes each of which has at its end which is axially remote from the disengaging bearings a radially projecting annular flange and wherein the annular flange of the middle cylindrical tube is maintained in sealing-tight fashion axially between the annular flanges of the inner and outer cylindrical tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A disengaging device according to claim 2, wherein both annular pistons are provided with sliding guide rings which areguided on the middle cylindrical tube.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A disengaging device according to claim 3, wherein the middle cylindrical tube protrudes axially beyond the outer and the inner cylindrical tubes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
74 words
A disengaging device according to claim 1, wherein the outer annular piston carries at its end which projects from the outer annular cylindrical space a radially outwardly projecting annular flange while the inner annular piston carries at itsend projecting from the inner annularly cylindrical space a radially inwardly projecting annular flange and wherein the non-rotating bearing rings of the disengaging bearings are guided for radial movement on the annular flanges of the annular pistons.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
96 words
A disengaging device according to claim 5, wherein in an axial direction, the inner annular piston is longer than the outer annular piston and wherein between the annular flange of the outer annular piston and the annular flange of the outer cylndrical tube there is a first coil spring which encloses the outer annular piston while between the annular flange of the inner annular piston and the end face of the inner cylindrical tube which is adjacent the inner disengaging bearing there is clamped a second coil spring which is enclosed by the inner annular piston.
