ABSTRACT:
Several embodiments of applications for a new and improved one-way clutch. The one-way clutch has a caging member for receiving the rollers of the clutch which is formed from a lightweight material such as sintered metal or plastic. A wedging member is affixed relative to the caging member and has projections that extend into the caging member recesses and against which the rollers react. The wedging member is formed from a higher strength material but is smaller than the caging member so as to reduce the weight of the clutch. In the illustrated embodiments, the one-way clutch is utilized for driving the engine crankshaft from a starter motor.
