Abstract
A freewheel clutch includes detent pawls located between first and second clutch parts. The pawls are moved exclusively by control elements. As a result, the freewheel clutch does not need any spring elements to hold the pawls in place. The control elements are attached to a common actuating ring. The freewheel clutch can be very easily assembled, and only a small amount of force is required to move the pawls.
