ABSTRACT:
A number of embodiments of one-way clutches and applications therefor. In all embodiments, the one-way clutch is comprised of an outer member that is formed from a first portion that defines caging recesses for receiving the wedging members of the clutch and a second portion that forms the wedging surfaces with which the wedging members cooperate. the first portion is formed from a lighter weight, lower tensile strength material than the second portion so as to reduce the weight of the overall assembly without sacrificing strength. In the various embodiments, the outer member is reinforced by a number of different elements of the associated device such as a gear, pulley, oil filter or generator element. In some embodiments, one or both of the portions of the outer member are formed from a plurality of identically configured pieces so as to facilitate manufacturing. In several embodiiments, the wedging surfaces are formed by a continuous flange of the respective portion so as to provide additional reinforcing.
