<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate backlash in a circumferential direction and backlash in a radial direction between a ratchet and a guide in rotation locking. <P>SOLUTION: The ratchet 10 and the guide 20 are assembled in a relatively rotatable state. Respective poles 30, ... are pushed outward in a radial direction by a rotating cam 40, while being supported in a circumferential direction by the guide 20, thereby to make outer peripheral tooth surfaces 30a, ... be engaged with the inner peripheral tooth surfaces 12a of the ratchet 10 so as to lock the rotation. One pole 30A is configured to be diagonally divided into two in the circumferential direction, where respective divided parts enlarge each width in the circumferential direction by the movement of being pushed outward in the radial direction, so as to be engaged with the ratchet 10 in a state where the backlash is eliminated with respect to the guide 20. The rotating cam 40 goes onto projections ca formed in the guide 20 when being rotated, greatly moves the poles 30A, 30 by pushing, and pressurizes the ratchet 10 against the guide 20 in the radial direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
