ABSTRACT:
A clutch adapted for use to move media in an image forming apparatus having an independently rotatable first race, an independently rotatable second race, and an open central section within the interior of the first and second races. The clutch has a bearing movable between an engaged position in simultaneously contact with the first and second races to transmit a rotational torque from the first race to the second race and a second disengaged position moveable through the open central section. During torque transmission, the bearing simultaneously engages one of a plurality of spaced-apart fins disposed around the open central section on the first race and one of a plurality of spaced-apart catches on the second race disposed outside of the plurality of fins.
