<p>A one-way ratcheting clutch (10) having a primary annular driving member (12) with a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially inwardly extending lugs (20) and a secondary annular member (22) mounted on a common shaft has a plurality of resilient circumferentially spaced outwardly extending fingers (28) for engaging the lugs configured to be compression loaded. At any relative rotational position at least one, and less than half, of the fingers is in the relaxed or undeflected state to minimize the effects of permanent set where both members are formed of plastic and exposed to service temperatures up to 85<o>C. <IMAGE></p> |
