ABSTRACT:
A one-way clutch mechanism having tiltable sprags disposed between concentric races for controlling torque delivery is disclosed. The clutch mechanism includes an annular resilient stretchable spring member and either an inner cage member or an outer cage member. The cage member and spring member provide full phasing of the sprags. Enlarged sprag members can be utilized to increase the wedging and torque capacity of the clutch mechanism. The windows of the spring member can have one or more tabs, as desired, but preferably are tabless. In an alternative embodiment, the clutch mechanism has only a resilient, stretchable spring member to control and bias the sprags between the races.
