ABSTRACT:
A one-way drive device is disclosed herein and includes a pocket plate assembly having a disc-shaped pocket plate and a notch plate assembly having a disc-shaped notch plate. The device also includes an axially extending, open-ended cylindrical shell for containing therein the pocket and notch assemblies. This shell includes opposite first and second axial ends and opposing inner and outer circumferential surfaces which extend axially between the end and which together are configured to include splines and first and second sets of tabs. The splines are circumferentially spaced from one another and extend axially across the shell body and they project radially inward and outward such that there innermost surface edges of the splines together define an innermost annular bearing surface. The first set of tabs is located adjacent to the first axial end of the shell and extend radially inward beyond the innermost annular bearing surface and the set of tabs is located adjacent to the second axial end of the shell and also extend radially inward beyond the innermost annular bearing surface. The tabs are configured to allow the pocket and notch plate assemblies to be easily assembled within the shell and they lock everything with in the shell in place.
