ABSTRACT:
A wheel hub assembly for a front wheel of a four wheel drive vehicle. The hub assembly has an unlocked position which permits free overrun of the wheel and a locked position where the wheel is fixedly secured to its drive axle. It comprises a conventional roller clutch mechanism in which there is an outer housing, an inner driving hub and a roller clutch assembly mounted between the housing and the hub. A clutch lock assembly, connected to the housing through a spring connection, is positioned in the outside portion of the housing and comprises a lock cage having a plurality of lock fingers that are movable axially inwardly to engage related slots in a roller clutch cage and thus mechanically interconnect the outer housing to the roller clutch assembly.
