ABSTRACT:
A cage assembly for an overrunning clutch is formed with a cage body of molded plastic that is initially unitary, and which can therefore be easily handled. The joinder of metal end rings to the cage body serves to fracture it into a plurality of separate pieces, which are maintained in substantially their original positions by their joinder to the end rings. The completed cage assembly can also, therefore, be handled with the ease of a unitary structure. After installation, the fracture of the cage body allows its separate pieces, which include support portions, to maintain the races of a clutch coaxial to one another, but to operate independently, substantially like a conventional, separate piece cage assembly.
