Abstract:
A two-mode rocker clutch, including: a clutch gear; a housing; a first pawl including an end and a portion disposed within the housing; an actuation assembly; a second pawl including a portion disposed within the housing; and a resilient element urging the second pawl into contact with the clutch gear. For a one-way mode, the clutch gear is rotatable, with respect to the housing, only in a first circumferential direction. To transition from the one-way mode to a locked mode: the second pawl blocks rotation of the clutch gear, with respect to the housing, in a second circumferential direction, opposite the first circumferential direction; the actuation assembly is arranged to pivot the first pawl into contact with the clutch gear; and the end of the first pawl is arranged to block rotation of the clutch gear, with respect to the housing, in the first circumferential direction.
