ABSTRACT:
A mechanical torque transmitting device such as a one-way clutch comprising a cylindrical engagement surface and one or more disc elements having members extending therefrom and flexibly attached thereto. The members are adapted to edgewise frictionally engage the cylindrical surface whereby relative rotation between the cylindrical surface and the disc elements in one direction causes frictional slippage of the members and relative rotation in the opposite direction causes tight driving engagement. In a preferred embodiment the flexible attachment of a member is spaced from the radial plane intersecting the engagement thereby providing compressive loading at the attachment during tight driving engagement. The attachment is relatively stiff in compression and flexible in bending, a bending load being applied thereto during frictional slippage. The preferred embodiments disclose versatile and economical constructions possible with the invention.
