Abstract
A retainer ring for a freewheel clutch comprises an annular disc and a plurality of sprag-guiding clips mounted on a radial face of the annular disc in a circumferential distribution about the disc axis. Each clip extends parallel to the disc axis and holds a sprag captive. Each clip has two parallel, circumferentially spaced legs extending from the radial disc face and being parallel to the disc axis. The legs extend along opposite sides of the circumferential surface of the sprag. Each clip further has a web interconnecting the clip legs at ends thereof remote from the radial face of the annular disc. The web extends along one of the end faces of the respective sprag.
