Description

ABSTRACT:
A oneway clutch comprises an inner member, an outer race member, torque transmitting members each provided between the inner member and the outer race member to be displaced between a torque transmitting position and a non torque transmitting position, biasing members each for biasing a corresponding torque transmitting member to the torque transmitting position until a predetermined torque is applied thereto, and a retainer for retaining the torque transmitting members and the biasing members. The retainer comprises a first annular side member, a second annular side member, and pole portions for connecting the first annular side member and the second annular side member in the axial direction, the pole portions, together with the first and second annular side members, defining the apertures for mounting the block bearings. Predetermined pole portions of the retainer are provided with at least two radially protruding portions for supporting the biasing members. Each of the biasing members comprises a clip-shaped portion which is wound around one of the radially protruding portions to pinch the protruding portion and is fixed to the other of the radially protruding portions and a tongue portion which is engaged with the one of the radially protruding portions to adjust the biasing condition.
