Combined cage and spring structure for a one-way clutch.

摘要

An improved cage and spring structure (10) for a sprag one-way clutch and insertable between a pair of opposed substantially concentric races (12,14) includes a series of tiltable sprags (16) supported on cam members (50) spaced around the periphery of a cage ring (22) and a plurality of independent energizing elements (26) mounted on the cam members (50) for engaging and individually biasing the sprags (16) by spring force into wedging engagement with the races (12,14). <IMAGE>
