<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medium scraping mechanism that efficiently scrapes up a medium, and to provide a power transmission device. <P>SOLUTION: The mechanism includes: a rotator 6 which scrapes up a medium on the outer surface by rotation; a wall face 8a opposing to the outer surface of the rotator 6; and a helical groove 7 which is helically formed on at least one of the rotator 6 or the wall face 8a, formed around the rotation axis X1 of the rotator 6 along the rotation direction of the rotator 6, the groove having an inlet opening 9 at one end where the medium is introduced and having a discharge opening 10 at the other end opening toward the downstream side in the scraping direction of the medium by the rotator 6. Thus, the medium can be efficiently scraped up. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
