Multimode clutch arrangements

A clutch for selectively preventing rotation of a rotating component, the clutch comprising:

• a first pawl that is pivotable about a first pawl pivot between engagement with the rotating component to prevent rotation of the rotating component in a first direction and disengagement with the rotating component to allow rotation of the rotating component in the first direction;
• a second pawl that is pivotable about a second pawl pivot between engagement with the rotating component to prevent rotation of the rotating component in a second direction and disengagement from the rotating component to allow rotation of the rotating component in the second direction;
• an armature that is moveable between a first armature position and a second armature position;
• a common member pivotally connected to the armature and engaging the first pawl and the second pawl to move the first pawl and the second pawl between engagement with and disengagement from the rotating component;
• and
• a torque spring biasing the common member to rotate toward the first pawl and away from the second pawl,
• wherein, when the armature is in the first armature position, the common member engages the first pawl and the second pawl to disengage the first pawl and the second pawl from the rotating component and allow rotation of the rotating component in the first direction and the second direction,
• wherein, when the armature is in the second armature position, the common member engages the first pawl and the second pawl to cause the first pawl and the second pawl to engage the rotating component and prevent rotation of the rotating component in the first direction and the second direction, and
• wherein, when the armature is in an intermediate armature position between the first armature position and the second armature position, the common member engages the first pawl to disengage the first pawl from the rotating component and allow the rotating component to rotate in the first direction, and engages the second pawl to cause the second pawl to engage the rotating component and prevent rotation of the rotating component in the second direction.
