Symmetrical strut for rocker one-way clutch

A stator for a torque converter, comprising:

• a plurality of blades;
• and,
• a one-way clutch including:
• an outer race:
• located radially inward of the plurality of blades;
• including a pocket;
• and,
• formed of a same single piece of material as the plurality of blades;
• and,
• a strut including:
• a body at least partially locatable in the pocket;
• and,
• a retention segment including:
• a neck portion directly connected to the body and extending from the body in a first direction;
• and,
• a spring retention portion:
• extending from the neck portion in the first direction;
• and,
• including first and second segments extending in second and third opposite directions, orthogonal to the first direction, from the neck portion.

A one-way clutch, comprising:

• an inner race;
• an outer race located radially outward of the inner race and including a pocket;
• a strut including:
• a body at least partially located in the pocket and with:
• a top surface;
• and,
• an outer circumferential surface at a first uniform distance from an axis passing through the body and orthogonal to the top surface;
• and,
• a retention segment including:
• a neck portion:
• directly connected to the body and extending from the outer circumferential surface;
• including a first neck surface at a first distance in a first direction from a line passing through the retention segment and the center axis;
• and,
• including a second neck surface at the first distance in a second direction, opposite the first direction, from the line;
• and,
• a spring retention portion:
• directly connected to the neck portion;
• including first and second spring retention surfaces extending from the first and second neck surfaces in the first and second directions, respectively;
• including a third spring retention surface extending from the first spring retention surface and at a second distance, greater than the first distance, in the first direction from the line;
• and,
• including a fourth spring retention surface extending from the second spring retention surface and at the second distance in the second direction from the line.
