<p>A planar-type ratchet one-way clutch assembly is disclosed. The assembly has a first rotor (402) with a plurality of pockets (410), a second rotor (404) with a plurality of notches (414), and a plurality of pawl members (408) positioned in the pockets for engagement with the notches. The pawl members can have a pivot ridge (30) to mate with a peak or recess in the pockets in the outer race to precisely position the pawl in the pocket. Spring members can be utilized to provide tilting force on the pawl members toward engagement. Garter springs (58,60), coil springs (140), ribbon springs (164), Z-type springs (170), individual leaf-springs (210) or the like can be used for this purpose.</p> |
