Abstract
A coupling member for an engageable coupling assembly includes a coupling face having at least one pocket. Each pocket is sized and shaped to receive and nominally retain a locking member that lays down in its pocket during an overrunning condition of the assembly at a laydown angular velocity of the coupling member about a rotational axis of the assembly. Each pocket has a pocket axis which is angled with respect to a normal to a centerline of the coupling member to improve locking member dynamics with regards to strut laydown speed during the overrunning condition.
