A multidisk clutch comprises an external bell member adapted to be coupled to a driving shaft and an internal ring member concentric with the bell member adapted to be coupled to a driven shaft. A plurality of disk members are disposed between the bell member and the ring member. Certain of these disk members are constrained to rotate with the bell member and the remainder with the ring member. A lubricating and cooling liquid is fed into the interior of the ring member, and can reach the disk members through a plurality of holes in the ring member. A generally annular scoop member is rotatably disposed within the ring member. It is constrained to rotate with the driving shaft and has a cylindrical peripheral wall disposed between the liquid feed means and the ring member. Its dimension in the axial direction is substantially the same as that of the ring member. The peripheral wall has passages in it through which the lubricating and cooling liquid is fed centrifugally to the disk members via the holes in the ring member.

Multidisk clutch comprising an external bell member adapted to be coupled to a driving shaft, an internal ring member concentric with said bell member and being adapted to be coupled to a driven shaft, a plurality of disk members disposed between said bell member and said ring member with certain of said disk members being constrained to rotate with said bell member and the remainder of said disk members being constrained to rotate with said ring member, liquid feed means adapted to feed a lubricating and cooling liquid into the interior of said ring member, a plurality of holes in said ring member for supplying said liquid to said disks, and a generally annular scoop member separate and distinct from and rotatably disposed within said ring member, said scoop member being constrained to rotate with a driving shaft relative to said ring member when said clutch is disengaged, said scoop member having a cylindrical peripheral wall disposed between said liquid feed means and said ring member, said peripheral wall having a dimension in the axial direction of the same order of magnitude as that of said ring member, and said peripheral wall having passages in it whereby liquid from said liquid feed means is fed centrifugally to said disk members via said holes in said ring member.
