ABSTRACT:
An improved latch for an accordion type roller clutch energizing spring includes a pair of resilient, flexible wings bent down from the bight of the mounting fold of the spring and a latching finger bent out from the tail of the spring, adjacent to the mounting fold. When the mounting fold is pressed over a vertical cross bar of the cage, the wings push up of the edge of the vertical cross bar, while the latching finger clicks beneath and pushes down off of the inner surface of the adjacent horizontal cross bar. This provides a triad of radially opposed and circumferentially and axially separated and balanced biasing forces to latch the spring securely in place with very good stability against twisting and rocking.
