Abstract
A rolling clutch apparatus having two one-way transmission mechanisms arranged axially of a drive shaft and a driven shaft. Each transmission mechanism includes an inner ring defining a conical outside surface, an outer ring disposed coaxially with the inner ring and defining a conical inside surface, and tapered rollers arranged between the conical surfaces of the inner and outer rings. The transmission mechanisms are shiftable at the same time so that the rollers in one of the transmission mechanisms are displaced axilly to be pressed between the conical surfaces of the inner and outer rings whereby the inner and outer rings rotate together to transmit drive.
