ABSTRACT:
A load bearing, one-way, spring clutch assembly for use in a load bearing assembly where the load bearing assembly includes a housing, a shaft rotatably mounted to the housing, a drive for applying a first torsion load to the shaft, and a thrust load applying a second torsion load to the shaft in a direction opposite the first torsion load. The load bearing, one-way, spring clutch assembly has first and second clutch members, one of the clutch members secured to the shaft for rotation therewith, and the other clutch member mounted on the shaft for rotation about a common axis with the one clutch member. Thrust load bearings are between the clutch members for carrying the thrust load. A spring clutch allows rotation of the one clutch member relative to the other where the first torsion load is greater than the second torsion load, and locks the clutch members together so that the one clutch member cannot rotate relative to the other where the second torsion load is greater than the first torsion load. A friction plate between the clutch assembly and housing resists rotation of the clutch assembly and shaft as otherwise would be caused by the thrust load.
