Abstract
In an overrunning clutch (), an annular space is formed between an inner raceway () and an outer raceway, in which annular space is arranged a cage () which has cut-outs () for holding clamping bodies (), with each cut-out () being delimited by transverse webs () which run in the axial direction, and with in each case one spring element (), which projects into a cut-out () and exerts a force on a clamping body (), adjoining the transverse webs (). At that side of the transverse web () which faces away from the spring element (), at least one retaining lug (), which serves to retain a clamping body (), extends into a cut-out ().
