<p>A device (10) allows forward (clockwise) rotation of a shaft (12) but prevents reverse rotation unless disengaged. A loop (20) is attached at one end to a slide shoe (16), passes round a drum (14) on the shaft (12), around a pin (24) and a pin (26), to an arm (28). The arm (28) can move clockwise to slacken the loop (20) to disengage the device (10) and allow rotation of the shaft (12) in either sense. A mechanism for controlling the arm (12) and for self-tightening the loop (20) are described.</p> |
