  • Patent number: 8464680
    Abstract: The disengageable module for a system for transmitting a starting torque to an internal combustion engine, of the type comprising a ring gear connected to the crankshaft of the combustion engine, comprises an inner ring (26) intended to be coupled to the crankshaft, an outer ring (28) intended to be coupled to the ring gear, and at least one free wheel (30) provided with a plurality of wedging elements (34) mounted between raceways of the said rings. It further comprises means (50) designed to provide relative centering of the inner ring (26) and of the outer ring (28) and for transmitting radial load, the said means (50) being mounted at least partially between the inner ring and the outer ring leaving radial clearances between themselves and the said inner ring.

  • Patent number: 7988576
    Abstract: The disengageable pulley device includes a pulley mounted on an internal transmission element, and a free wheel provided with a plurality of wedges and with a cage for the wedges, said free wheel being designed to provide one-way engagement between the pulley and the internal transmission element. The device includes an elastic connecting member provided with a first fixing part for fixing it to the internal transmission element, with a second fixing part for fixing it to the cage, and with a working part between said fixing parts, said working part being radially moveable relative to the internal transmission element and being adapted to exert a circumferential return force on the cage.
