Abstract
A clutch that connects a first rotating member to a second rotating member in a manner that allows directional rotation between the two members in an engaged mode and free rotation between the members in a disengaged mode. The novelty of this invention lies in the combination of directional rotation (i.e., rotation in one direction) capability with free rotation (i.e., rotation in both directions) capability in a single device.
