PCT No. PCT/FR78/00012 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 15, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 15, 1979 PCT Filed July 19, 1978 PCT Pub. No. WO79/00052 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 8, 1979 Unidirectional drive device comprising a cage inside which a shaft rotates so that, in a certain direction it drives this cage, of the type comprising grooves of which the section on one of its faces is smaller than the one which they determine on the other face, the grooves made in the bore of the cage being defined as each being obtained by penetration in the wall of this bore of a cylinder inclined with respect to the geometrical axis of this bore and which is displaced parallel to a longitudinal diametrical plane of this latter, while balls, known per se, are introduced in the passage determined between each groove and the shaft with a view to constituting members for wedging between the cage and the shaft.
A device for mixing paint and similar thick liquids within a container in which the container is held between the jaws of a clamp and rocked back and forth by a source of power. The clamp jaws are freely mounted so that they can rotate with the container about its longitudinal axis. An inertially driven mechanism which is independent of the rocking power source serves to rotate the container about its longitudinal axis as it is rocked, thereby greatly reducing the time required to thoroughly mix the paint within the container.
A small diameter plastic eel with an overrunning clutch assembly mounted to the hub of the wheel. The wheel designed to be used with self-propelled power equipment operating at less than 1000 RPM. The overrunning clutch includes a clutch housing of generally annular cross-section having an outer periphery and an inner periphery. The housing has a radial stiffness which prevents deformation of the housing during use. The housing has recesses spaced equidistantly thereabout. Each recess has a throat opening, an outer wall, and a pair of side walls. A roller bearing is located in each of the recesses. One of the side walls has a concave surface. The other side wall has a spring for engaging the roller bearing and biasing the roller bearing toward the concave surface of the side wall.
