The wheel is rotatably mounted inside the cavity and the pawls are biased by the spring ring to engage the plurality of teeth on the inner periphery of the cavity when rotated in a first direction, and to slide over the teeth engage the plurality of teeth on the inner periphery of the cavity when rotated in a direction opposite the first direction.
