Abstract
A one-way output device with a clockwise-counterclockwise unit includes a lengthwise hollow sleeve formed with a recessed fixing base. An inner gear cover is covered on the fixing base. A solar gear and two planetary gears are positioned between the fixing base and the inner gear cover, and the two planetary gears mesh with the inner teeth of the inner gear cover. A shaft is fitted thereon with an inner and an outer drive ring positioned interposing each other and fitted thereon with a clutch with balls. The shaft has its opposite ends respectively extending out of the fixing base and the inner gear cover and stably positioned. The inner and the outer drive ring and the balls are respectively fitted with the solar gear and the inner gear cover, carrying out one-way output whether the shaft is driven to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
