1. A multiple disk clutch with a multiple disk pack and a power transmission device for transmitting an actuating force through openings in a wall of the multiple disk clutch to the multiple disk pack, wherein the power transmission device has transmission fingers that extend through the openings, wherein the openings are arranged at least partially in a first wall section of the wall extending in an axial direction;
wherein the power transmission device has a first power transmission element on the side of the wall facing away from the multiple disk pack and a second power transmission element on the side of the wall facing the multiple disk pack, which can be supported on one another in the axial direction via the transmission fingers; and
wherein between the first and second power transmission element a transfer region in which the first and second power transmission elements can be supported or are supported on one another is formed, and between the second power transmission element and the multiple disk pack an application region is formed, in which the second power transmission element can be or is supported on the multiple disk pack, wherein the largest diameter of the transfer region is formed smaller than the smallest diameter of the application region; and
wherein the first wall section is inclined in the axial direction, and wherein the first wall section encloses an angle of inclination of at most 45° with respect to an axis of rotation of the multiple disk clutch and/or has a rectilinear course.
