Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 4:
5. A clutch assembly comprising:
first and third coupling members supported for rotation relative to one another in first and second directions about a rotational axis, and a second coupling member fixed in position;
a first locking element;
a second locking element;
a translator configured to move the first locking element to a deployed position in which the first locking element mechanically couples the first and third coupling members together to prevent relative rotation of the first and third coupling members in at least one direction about the rotational axis;
a first actuator configured to move the second locking element to a deployed position in which the second locking element mechanically couples the second and third coupling members together to prevent rotation of the third coupling member relative to the second coupling members in a first direction about the rotational axis;
a third locking element; and
a second actuator configured to move the third locking element to a deployed position in which the third locking element mechanically couples the second and third coupling members together to prevent rotation of the third coupling member relative to the second coupling member in a second direction about the rotational axis.
