DOUBLE-ACTING FREEWHEEL CLUTCH WITH PINS AND DOGS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F16D41/12 F16D41/16 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to connecting devices. The freewheel clutch has the inner and outer elements, placed on the rotation axis. The outer element is placed outside of the inner element in the radial direction. The clutch consists of several pins, projecting from the radially inner surface of the outer element and the radially outer surface of the inner element. The clutch includes one or more dogs coupled to one of the inner and outer elements. Each dog is capable to move between an engaged position, in which the dog engages with one of the pins to transfer the torque between the inner and outer element, and released position, wherein the dog is disengaged with the pins to provide the relative rotation of the inner and outer elements .

EFFECT: according to one embodiment, the different dogs may be in the appropriate position of engagement, which depends on the direction of rotation of one element, resulting in design simplification.
