MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202514102527 A) filed by Exedy Corporation on October 24, 2025, for Clutch Device.

Inventors include Matsuyoshi, Noriko; and Kudara, Kengo.

The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.

Abstract: It is intended to prevent a component of a clutch device from being detached and dropping. A support plate is disposed in a pre-fastening position before fastened to a first rotor by a fastening member. When the support plate is disposed in the pre-fastening position, a contact portion is disposed away from the first rotor at an interval in an axial direction. The support plate is disposed in a post-fastening position after fastened to the first rotor by the fastening member. When the support plate is disposed in the post-fastening position, the contact portion is in contact with the first rotor in the axial direction. A rotation restricting mechanism restricts the support plate and a second rotor from rotating relative to each other so as not to make a first cam surface and a second cam surface in contact with each other when the support plate is disposed in the pre-fastening position.
