Abstract
The helical spring of a wrap spring clutch is formed with a radially projecting protrusion which is spaced 180 degrees from one of the end tangs of the spring. The protrusion and the end tang are connected to the control collar of the clutch and cause the tensile force applied by the spring to be balanced angularly around the collar.
