ABSTRACT:
A one-way clutch assembly (15) including a driven member (37) defining a plurality of driven pockets (41), with a radially moveable pawl (59) disposed in each pocket. The pockets (41) are interconnected by circumferentially-extending grooves (47), and disposed in each groove (47) is a spring member (53). Each spring member (53) includes a retaining portion (55) engaging a radially outer surface (67) of one pawl (59a), to retain the pawl in its pocket (41), and a spring portion (57) engaging a radially inner surface (69) of another pawl (59b), biasing part of the pawl toward the drive position (FIG. 6). The arrangement of the invention makes it practical to provide a one-way clutch having as few parts as possible, and being adapted for "drop-in" assembly of the clutch within a device such as a torque converter stator.
