To provide a clutch device capable of reducing the torque generated when a second clutch is engaged using a simple constitution.
The clutch device 70 is structured so that a follower gear 63 is mounted on a shaft 54 furnished with a driving gear 62 in such a way as rotatable and movable in the axial direction and a first clutch 80 is interposed between the follower gear and the driving gear while a second clutch 90 is interposed between a gear case 141 to accommodate the driving and follower gears and the follower gear. The second clutch is of jaw clutch type in which clutch pawls are engaged with each other. A torque limiter 100 to make slip when a torque exceeding the reference value is applied to the jaw clutch is interposed between the jaw clutch and the gear case. The torque limiter is structured so that a rotor 111 installed on the second clutch is fitted by pressure to a stator 101 installed in the gear case. A sulfuriznig process is applied to the contacting surface 106a of the stator and/or the contacting surface 112a of the rotor.
