Twin clutch system for a transmission, particularly for a twin clutch transmission

Abstract

The invention relates to a twin clutch system for a transmission, particularly for a twin clutch transmission, comprising at least two clutches each having a clutch cover ( 103, 104 ) to which at least one disengaging system ( 109 ) that actuates the clutches is fastened. According to the invention, a fastening element ( 110 ) is provided that couples both coupling covers.

1 - 7 . (canceled)  
     
     
         8 . A twin-clutch system for a transmission, comprising: 
 at least two clutches;    a clutch cover mounted at each one of the at least two clutches;    at least one clutch-release system arranged to actuate the at least two clutches;    the at least one clutch-release system being secured to at least one of the clutch covers, and;    a fastening member for coupling the clutch covers to one another.    
     
     
         9 . The twin-clutch system of  claim 8 , wherein the fastening member comprises at least one connecting element arranged to interconnect the clutch covers to one another.  
     
     
         10 . The twin-clutch system of  claim 9 , wherein the connecting element comprises a bolt-shaped connecting element.  
     
     
         11 . The twin-clutch system of  claim 10 , wherein the bolt-shaped connecting element has two ends, each end being fastened to a respective clutch cover.  
     
     
         12 . The twin-clutch system of  claim 11 , wherein each end of the bolt-shaped connecting element includes a receiving section.  
     
     
         13 . The twin-clutch system of  claim 12 , wherein each receiving section comprises an annular groove.  
     
     
         14 . The twin-clutch system of  claim 8 , further comprising a housing for the twin-clutch system, and wherein each clutch cover is fastened to the housing.  
     
     
         15 . The twin-clutch system of  claim 8 , wherein the transmission is a twin-clutch transmission.
