CLUTCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/012211
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A ring-shaped groove (111) is provided on the driving rotor (110) of the clutch (100). Guide grooves (127, 129) are provided on the driven rotor (120) of the clutch (100). By moving the driving rotor (110) relative to the driven rotor (120), spheres (130) that are accommodated in the spaces formed by the sections where the guide grooves (127, 129) and the ring-shaped groove (111) face each other are moved. Moving the spheres (130) toward the portions where the gap between the driving rotor (110) and the driven rotor (120) is narrow causes the spheres (130) to engage with the driving rotor (110) and the drive rotor (120) to achieve an engaged state. A disengaged state in which engagement is released is achieved by moving the spheres (130) to the portions where the gap is wide.
