Abstract
An electro-magnetically actuated pawl clutch is adapted to establish a fixed overdrive ratio in a powersplit type hybrid gearing arrangement. In a first embodiment, the pawl clutch holds a member against rotation in one direction when engaged and permits rotation in the other direction. In a second embodiment, the pawl clutch prevents relative rotation between two rotatable members in one direction when engaged and permits relative rotation in the other direction. In either embodiment, the coil is stationary.
