ABSTRACT:
A one piece, molded plastic roller clutch cage has the heavy, rigid cross bars of adjacent pockets joined together by circumferentially flexible connecting members. The connecting members are located entirely within the space between pockets, and have no effect of the shape or structure of either the side rails or the cross bars of the pockets. When the cage expands or contracts with rising or falling temperatures, the curved connecting members can open or close, allowing the adjacent cross bars of adjacent pockets to move together or apart, thereby avoiding excess compression or tension in the cage.
