Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fixation structure for a selectable one-way clutch is provided. The fixation structure comprises: a stationary member in which the pocket plate is held coaxially; a projection formed on the pocket plate protruding radially outwardly; a spline groove formed in the stationary member to which the projection is inserted while keeping a predetermined clearance in a circumferential direction; and an elastic member that is interposed between the projection and the spline groove to push the projection in a direction that the strut held in an upper side of the pocket is moved toward the notch.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A fixation structure for a selectable one-way clutch, comprising: a pocket plate having a plurality of pockets holding struts while allowing to project from the pocket arranged symmetrically across a center point; a notch plate that has a plurality of notches to which a leading end of each of the strut is individually brought into engagement, and that is opposed to the pocket plate in a rotatable manner; a selector plate having a plurality of apertures for letting through the struts that is interposed between the pocket plate and the notch plate while being allowed to rotate therebetween; a stationary member in which the pocket plate is held coaxially; a projection formed on the pocket plate protruding radially outwardly; a spline groove formed in the stationary member to which the projection is inserted while keeping a predetermined clearance in a circumferential direction; and an elastic member that is interposed between the projection and the spline groove to push the projection in a direction that the strut held in an upper side of the pocket plate is moved toward the notch. 2 . The fixation structure for a selectable one-way clutch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least two projections are formed on the pocket plate symmetrically across the center point of the pocket plate, wherein each of the projections is individually provided with the elastic member, and wherein the elastic members push the projections in opposite directions in the circumferential direction around the center point of the pocket plate. 3 . The fixation structure for a selectable one-way clutch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least two projections are formed on the pocket plate symmetrically across the center point of the pocket plate, wherein each of the projection is individually provided with the elastic member, and wherein the elastic members push the projections in same directions in the circumferential direction around the center point of the pocket plate.
