ABSTRACT:
Several embodiments of one-way clutches employing an improved, light weight and easily formed construction. In each embodiment, the one-way clutch is comprised of an outer member that defines recesses that receive wedging members and an inner member. The outer and inner members are adapted to be rotatably coupled together by the wedging members and for this purpose spring means are provided for urging the wedging members into engagement with the inner and outer member surfaces. In each embodiment, the recesses open through one side of the outer member so as to facilitate insertion of the wedging members and the biasing means and then are closed by a retainer plate. Several embodiments of light weight formed springs are employed for acting as the biasing means and, in some embodiments, the outer member is formed of a composite construction.
