  • Mechanically disengaging overrunning clutch
    Patent number: 9709104
    Abstract: A one way overrunning clutch capable of fully disconnecting a drive and driven members during overrunning by utilizing helical teeth or utilizing jaw teeth. Both assembly types provide a drive connection in one rotational direction and allow for overrunning in the opposite rotational direction. Both helical and jaw tooth coupling systems contain a spring loaded actuating plate allowing it to move along either assembly's common axis, enabling components connected to the drive or driven to be completely unconnected when overrunning occurs under certain operating conditions.
