Abstract

A gripping roller free-wheeling device, with a springy support of the gripping rollers on cross tongues of a cage which is formed by two or more annular members disposed adjacent the gripping rollers; the tongues are stamped out of the sheet metal annular members and are bent off approximately at right angle to the plane of the annular members whereby the form and position of the stamping edge is such that the stamped-out openings which remain in one annular member approximately within the area of half the pitch of the cross tongues, permit the passage therethrough of the bent-off cross tongues of the other annular member.
