ABSTRACT:
A hub is rotatably supported on an axle. A collar is fixed to one end of the hub. A number of rollers are rotatably supported on an outer surface of a frustum which is formed in the middle of the collar, and contact an inner surface of a sleeve. Two pawls are coupled on the free end of the collar. The sleeve has a ratchet gear formed in an inner surface for engagement with the pawls so that the collar can be driven to rotate unidirectionally by the sleeve. The rollers have a large contact surface so that the sleeve can be stably supported in rotational relationships with the collar.
