    Abstract: A one-way speed limiter includes a first housing including an inner surface. defining a speed limiter receiving zone. A second housing includes a flange and a second wall including an inner surface portion that includes a stop feature. A ball housing including a ball member is rotatably supported in the speed limiter receiving zone. The ball member selectively engages the stop feature. A friction clutch is disposed between the ball housing and the first housing. The friction clutch selectively retards rotation of the ball housing. A motor shaft is selectively rotatably connected to the ball housing. The motor shaft including a first end supported at the ball housing and a second end. The motor shaft is rotatable relative to the ball housing in a first direction and selectively rotatably constrained relative to the ball housing in a second direction to selectively engage the friction clutch.

    Abstract: A clutch mechanism comprising: a first connection for coupling the clutch mechanism to a motor shaft; a second connection for coupling the clutch mechanism to a driven element; a ratchet having a plurality of notches; a pawl body having pivotally mounted thereon a plurality of pawls; each of the plurality of pawls having a respective lobe for engaging with a respective one of the plurality of notches; and one or more resilient elements for biasing the plurality of pawls into engagement with the plurality of notches; wherein a first set of the plurality of pawls inhibits decoupling of the pawl body from the ratchet in a first rotation direction and a second set of the plurality of pawls inhibits decoupling of the pawl body from the ratchet in a second rotation direction, such that the second rotation direction is opposite to the first rotation direction.
