Title:
【発明の名称】一方向平クラッチ用ストラット
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002506958
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A strut for mechanically coupling a driving member to a driven member in a planar one-way clutch is formed in a progressive die from a length of cold-formed metallic stock material such that the strut's diametrical member-engaging end surfaces are coextensive with a pair of cold-formed surfaces of the stock material. A pair of oppositely-projecting "ears" are integrally formed on the strut proximate to one of its end surfaces at one station of the progressive die. The ears cooperate with a complementary recess or pocket formed in one member's planar clutch face to thereby nominally position and maintain the strut's first end surface within the pocket. A surface on each ear is preferably coined at another station of the progressive die to thereby provide a relief which prevents deleterious contact between the ears and the opposed clutch face of the other clutch member.
