Abstract
A sprag outer retainer ring of a sprag-synchronized one-way clutch assembly includes a plurality of pockets formed in a circumferential direction at a predetermined pitch. Each of the pockets is defined by a generally rectangular sprag insertion hole and a pair of notches formed on opposite side edges of the sprag insertion hole and continuously therewith. Thus, the pocket is generally symmetrical in shape and thus the present outer retainer ring may be used irrespective of the lock direction.
