ABSTRACT:
The overrunning clutch includes an outer member having at least one radially, inwardly extending flange. The flange includes some means such as a slot, or hole, or projection for cooperating with a spring biasing portion of a cage located in the annular space between the outer member and an inner member of the clutch.
The cage includes a biasing portion for biasing the rolling members in the pockets of the cage. The biasing portion is shaped to cooperate with the slot or hole, or projection in the radially extending flange of the outer member so that the rolling members in the retainer will lock into a cam surface of the outer member when the rolling members are urged in a given rotary direction.
