Abstract
A one-way clutch of the type having a spring biased roller engaged with inclined ramps has a roller retention cage with spring mounting blocks mounted thereto by inclined tracks. The spring mounting blocks are movable along the track under the centrifugal force of the over-running clutch to further compress the spring to provide increased energizing force to in turn prevent roller drift along the inclined ramp.
