CLUTCH DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a more simply structured type of clutch device which is to be provided on each of a plurality of output shafts of a single motor for the purpose of selectively driving the aforementioned output shafts. As an embodiment of the above, there is disclosed a clutch device wherein if a selector shaft (10) is caused to rotate by means of a dial (15), then a clutch plate (35) for one of a plurality of clutch mechanisms (30) is pushed radially outward by one of a plurality of protrusions (11) which are provided in such a way as to protrude from specified locations on the circumferential surface of the selector shaft (10); wherein subsequently, a clutch plate (35) is pressed against a clutch gear (32), thereby bringing the clutch mechanisms (30) into a connected state; and wherein as a result, the power of a motor (20) is transmitted to an output shaft (36) via the clutch plate (35), thereby causing rotation to take place. In this clutch device, the selector shaft (10) is caused to rotate, and when a protrusion (11) in rotation and a clutch mechanism (30) come into contact with each other, then the clutch status enters a connected state, resulting in an output shaft (36) being selected.
