Title:
TWO-WAY CLUTCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1997/042427
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A two-way clutch comprising an input system rotational member (10) adapted to be rotatably driven by a driving source, an output system rotational member (60, 140) for taking out outwardly a torque transferred from the input system rotational member (10), and a torque transferring member (50, 150a, 150b) interposed between the input system rotational member (10) and the output system rotational member (60, 140) for selectively making the two rotational members engage and disengage each other, wherein in order to perform securely torque transfer and cut off between the input and output systems and avoid any influence of an external force applied from the output system during torque transfer, the torque transferring member (50, 150a, 150b) is adapted to transfer torque in both forward and backward rotating directions while it engages the input system rotational member (10) and the output system rotational member (60, 140) and the output system rotational member (60, 140) is adapted to freely rotate only when the torque transferring member (50, 150a, 150b) is released from the output system rotational member (60, 140).
