In a first mode of operation, the pawl does not contact the teeth and the inner ring is free to rotate in the first and second rotational directions. In a second mode of operation, the pawl is in partial engagement with the teeth and the inner ring is free to rotate in the second rotational direction and prevented from rotation in the first rotational direction. In a third mode of operation, the pawl is in full engagement with the teeth and the inner ring is prevented from rotation in both the first and the second rotational directions.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.
