ABSTRACT:
The overrunning clutch retainer includes circumferentially spaced crossbars extending between longitudinally spaced rims with the rims and crossbars defining pockets sufficiently large to contain a plurality of rollers such as trunnion ended rollers. A flexible spring associated with each of the crossbars is adapted to contact the nearest roller in the pocket and urge the contacted roller circumferentially toward lockup. The contacted roller presses against the roller next to it and so on.
The retainer and roller assembly is placed in the annular space between an outer member and an inner member of less outside diameter than the inside diameter of the outer member. The outer member is provided with cam surfaces. The retainer is provided with stops which are adapted to prevent rotation of the retainer with respect to the outer member in the unlocking or overrunning direction.
