ABSTRACT:
An improved one-way clutch assembly according to this invention includes a drive member and a driven member each having a generally planar annular surface and assembled for rotation about a common axis with the planar annular surfaces in opposed spaced relation. A coupling system is mounted between the driving and driven members and rotatably fixed for rotation with the drive member. The coupling system includes a plurality of struts or pawls supported one on one end of each of a plurality of elongated, resilient arms for movement between a retracted position within a recess in the drive member and a drive position engaging a shoulder in a pocket in the driven member.
