Abstract: A freewheel mechanism comprising two coaxial carrying members for eventually transmitting torque there between, being both members axially fixed but rotatably mounted along an axis. This mechanism further comprises longitudinal pawls housed in cavities, predominantly radially disposed in one of the carrying members, arranged to engage and disengage with a toothed ring placed between said carrying members. This mechanism allows a partial declutch of the carrying members, due to said toothed ring is always forced by longitudinal pawls, to slide bi-directionally in the axial direction, being declutching the axial movement from a first clutch position corresponding to non-freewheeling, to a second declutch position corresponding to freewheeling, and being clutching the axial movement of the toothed ring from the second declutch position to the first clutch position.
