ABSTRACT:
A bi-directional clutch particularly suited for hand-powered applications where motion is imparted to a pulley. The device includes a pair of wedge-shaped circular plates each of which is urged to a disengaged or idle position under the force of gravity when no motion is being transmitted. Imparted rotational movement in either direction brings an angled surface of a driving plate into contact with a corresponding angled surface of a driven plate which motion pushes an opposite surface of the driven plate into contact with a side surface of the pulley for transmitting corrresponding rotation.
