<p>To provide an electromagnetic-clutch rotation stopping structure for use with a phase varying apparatus of an automobile engine, having a shorter axial length than similar conventional rotation stopping structures. MEANS FOR ACHIEVING THE OBJECT An electromagnetic-clutch rotation stopping structure for use with a phase varying apparatus (30) of an automobile engine, the structure configured to stop the rotation of an electromagnetic clutch (35) relative to an electromagnetic clutch cover (70) while braking the brake drum (34) of the phase varying apparatus (30) when varying the phase angle of the camshaft (45) of the apparatus (30) relative to the crankshaft of the engine. The electromagnetic clutch cover (70) is provided with a clutch holding section (71) having a circumferential surface (71c) coaxial with the camshaft The electromagnetic clutch (35) is held in the clutch holding section (71) via a substantially C-shaped leaf spring (73) mounted on the clutch holding section (71). An electromagnetic clutch (35) is held unrotatable with respect to the clutch holding section (71) by first rotation stopping means (11e, 73a) provided between the electromagnetic clutch (35) and by second rotation stopping means (73b, 35d) provided between the leaf spring 73 and the electromagnetic clutch (35).</p> |
