ABSTRACT:
An accordion type roller clutch energizing spring has a specially designed mounting fold which, when pressed radially down and over a flat faced radial cage cross bar, is retained to the cross bar with improved stability. The front and rear leaves of the mounting fold of the spring have a free state separation equal to the basic thickness of the cage cross bar. However, the rear leaf of the spring mounting fold is stamped with an integral bump or the like, which engages the rear face of the cross bar to spread the two leaves apart, creating extra tension in the mounting fold. The front leaf of the mounting fold is thereby kept snug and flat to the front face of the cage cross bar at all times.
