Abstract
There is disclosed herein a one-way drive device including a first member mounted for rotation about a given axis and defining (i) a first planar surface normal to the axis, and (ii) a first shoulder within the first surface. The device also includes a second member mounted for rotation about the same given axis and defining (i) a second planar surface, which is positioned in close proximity to and in confronting relationship with said first surface, and (ii) a second shoulder within the second surface. A coupling arrangement, which couples the two members to one another in a one-way drive manner, also forms part of the overall device and includes at least one strut movable between (i) a first position so as to allow the first member to rotate about the axis in one direction relative to the second member, and (ii) a second position in simultaneous engagement with the first and second shoulders so as to prevent the first member from rotating about the axis in the opposite direction relative to the second member. Each of the first and second members is preferably integrally stamp formed into a single unit.
