Abstract: An energizing spring utilized for a one-way clutch; such as a sprag clutch, wherein the spring includes a resilient high tensile spring steel metal cage or ring having parallel side bars joined by cross bars to define a plurality of openings with tapered inwardly extending tabs, both the tabs and the side bars having transverse wrinkles or depressions therein. This energizing spring cooperates with a set of generally rigid inner and outer circular cages between the inner and outer races, these cages having openings corresponding to the spring openings to receive sprags which engage the inner and outer races.

Abstract: A load block for a metal chain belt comprising upper and lower transverse struts, the ends of which are adapted to engage the flanges of the pulleys of a pulley transmission, said struts being joined by recessed end portions, the struts and end portions defining a window for encircling a carrier, the end portions being recessed from the ends of said struts so as not to engage the flanges of the pulleys of a pulley transmission.
