First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A fixation structure for a selectable one-way clutch, comprising: a pocket plate and a notch plate being opposed to each other; a strut held in a pocket of the pocket plate while being allowed to project from the pocket; a selector plate having an aperture for letting through the strut that is interposed between the pocket plate and the notch plate while being allowed to rotate therebetween; a stationary member opposed to a back face of the pocket plate opposite to the notch plate to which the pocket plate is fixed; and an engagement portion formed on the back face of the pocket plate that is brought into abutment to the stationary member to stop rotation of the pocket plate; wherein a radial distance between the engagement portion fitted with the stationary member and a rotational center axis of the pocket plate is shorter than that between the strut and the rotational center axis of the pocket plate. 2 . The fixation structure for a selectable one-way clutch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the engagement portion is fitted with the stationary member while assuring a predetermined end play in a rotational direction of the pocket plate. 3 . The fixation structure for a selectable one-way clutch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the engagement portion includes a ridge formed on the back face of the pocket plate in such a manner to be splined to the stationary member.
