ABSTRACT:
A roller clutch assembly for use in an internal combustion engine starter motor. The assembly includes a clutch outer member which is arranged to be driven and a clutch inner member which carries a pinion gear wheel. The clutch inner member and the pinion gear wheel are arranged as parts of a common member having a radial shoulder between the inner member and the gear wheel. A plurality of rollers lie between the inner and outer clutch members and a plurality of compression springs each urge a respective roller in a circumferential direction. An annular washer is carried by the outer clutch member and abuts the shoulder to prevent disengagement of the clutch inner member from the clutch outer member. The washer is formed in at least two parts and the parts defining the washer are so shaped that the abutting edges of the parts are disposed other than parallel to the convolusions of the springs.
