ABSTRACT:
A one-way clutch comprises a shaft and an outer race therearound. Plural rollers are circumferentially arranged around the shaft in contact therewith. A torque transmission control ring is interposed between the outer ring and the shaft. The control ring is locked with the outer race and includes grip roller locking spaces each having a shallower part and a deeper part in which spaces the rollers are respectfully received. In one directional rotation of the shaft, the rollers enter into gripping contact between the shaft and control ring to transmit torque and, in the opposite directional rotation, the rollers move out of gripping contact into an idling position. In the idling position, a surface of each control ring space contacts the associated roller to enable the roller to enter into gripping contact between the shaft and control ring substantially immediately upon rotation of the one-way clutch in a direction reverse from the idling direction.
