ABSTRACT:
A one way drive device, for example an overrunning clutch, is disclosed herein and includes a drive member and a driven member which are mounted for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation about a common axis. The drive member includes a planar drive face normal to the common axis and is adapted for connection with a source of power for rotating the planar drive face either clockwise or counterclockwise. The driven member includes a planar driven face which is positioned in close proximity to and in confronting relationship with the drive face. The drive and driven members are coupled to one another through a series of pockets in one of the drive or driven faces and a plurality of cooperating pawls carried by the other face such that when the drive member is driven counterclockwise, it drives the driven member with it an when the drive member is driven clockwise it does so freely, that is, without driving the driven member.
