In the second shown in Figs Embodiments of a clutch carrier are for the parts similar to those of the first embodiment correspond to 300 larger reference numerals used, so that this leads to the description of the first Embodiment is referred to.

The coupling carrier 310 consists of a substantially straight part with at its end molded guide pin 319 and fork 320 molded onto the latter, which has bores 344. The substantially straight web of the coupling carrier 310 has a recess 336 which bounded on both sides by slcgen 339. The recess 336 and one provided in the guide pin Through openings 335 serve to receive and guide electrical connecting lines. Every bridge 339 has a - breakthrough 134! to the side leading out of the connecting lines. Further two spaced-apart cover plates 337 are provided, those on the underside an opening 338 is assigned to each of the web. The coupling bracket 310 is different from the one before described essentially with regard to the formation of the longitudinal slot 316. The longitudinal slot 316 is limited by two parallel spring tongues 348 and 349 formed on the web of the clutch carrier 310, which can rebound with their free ends. The spring tongues extend into one on the web of the Coupling carrier molded and closed eyelet 350, which essentially has the task of lateral To form stops for the spring tongues 348 and 349, which prevents the spring tongues 348 and 349 sideways: rebound too far and possibly break off. With the arrangement of the spring tongues 348 and 349 two things are achieved at the same time. Once the longitudinal slot 316 is formed. On the other hand, it is a resilient behavior of the coupling carrier 310 is achieved, namely in the area of the pivot bearing, whereby forces can be resiliently absorbed in the pivot bearing.

All kinds of couplings or coupling parts can be used together with the coupling carrier use.
