ABSTRACT:
An overrunning clutch has a first race, a second race, a set of pawls between the first race and the second race and a set of springs between the first race and the second race, one spring for each pawl and each corresponding spring biasing the corresponding pawl into a position in which the first race and the second race are engaged with each other in a driving direction and are disengaged from each other in a free wheeling direction. Each spring is received in a spring receiving recess of one of the races and biases a rearward portion of the corresponding pawl radially inwardly into a pawl receiving recess of the race.
