Zusammenfassung:ONE-WAY CLUTCH ENERGIZING SPRING An energizing spring (21) utilized for a one-way clutch (10); such as a sprag clutch, wherein the spring includes a resilient high tensile spring steel metal cage or ring having parallel side bars joined by cross bars (24) to define a plurality of openings with tapered inwardly extending tabs, both the tabs and the side bars having transverse wrinkles or depressions therein. This energizing spring cooperates with a set of generally rigid inner (11) and outer (12) circular cages between the inner and outer races, these cages having openings corresponding to the spring openings to receive sprags which engage the inner and outer races.
