Patent ID: 8459424

Claim:
A freewheel clutch, comprising: two races, an inner race and an outer race, arranged concentrically with one another, one of the races having wedging ramps; wedging rollers arranged between the two races and interacting with the wedging ramps; a cage having a web; and a repeatedly bent leaf spring arranged between the two races with each of the wedging rollers being individually sprung against one of the wedging ramps by means of the leaf spring, the leaf spring having a U-shaped portion with a U-base, a securing portion extending from the U-base running in a tangential direction of the races and limiting mobility of the wedging rollers in a first radial direction, and a U-leg, which has an end portion with an extension facing the U-base, extending from the U-base, transverse of the securing portion, wherein each leaf spring is held against the web of the cage, gripping around the web with the U-shaped portion, and the end portion of a U-leg forms a second securing portion that limits the mobility of the wedging rollers in a second radial direction, which is opposed to the first radial direction, and the extension of the end portion impinges on the web such that the leaf spring is held on the web through positive interlock in both radial directions by the U-base and by the extension of the end portion.
