The present invention relates to a freewheel clutch and a method of transmitting power from one shaft to another. The freewheel clutch, which is shiftable in two rotational directions, includes a drive shaft which can rotate in each of two directions, a catch element which is fixedly secured to the drive shaft, a driven shaft, an engagement mechanism arranged between the drive shaft and the driven shaft, a fixed member, a holding element frictionally-engaging the fixed member, and a spring element biased to release the engagement mechanism from engagement with the driven shaft. The method of transmitting power utilizing the freewheel clutch includes rotating the drive shaft from a freewheel position in one of a clockwise and a counterclockwise direction, whereby the engagement mechanism is moved into an engagement position so as to rotate the driven shaft, and returning the drive shaft to the freewheel position.
