A twin clutch device comprising a first clutch for obtaining a connection state by a spring force of a first clutch spring, a second clutch arranged coaxially with the first clutch for obtaining a connection state by a spring force of a second clutch spring, and a single cam shaft provided in common for the first and second clutches, said single cam shaft being rotatably arranged about an axis orthogonal to a rotary axis of both clutches, an actuator rotatably driving the cam shaft, said actuator being connected to the cam shaft. The twin clutch further comprising first and second drive control members for applying control forces in the direction to disconnect the first and second clutches against the spring forces of the first and second clutch springs to the first and second clutches interlockingly connected to the first and second cams, said first and second clutches, respectively, are operatively connected to first and second cams mounted on the cam shaft in correspondence with the first and second clutches. Hence, it is possible to change over the disconnection/connection of both clutches independently from each other and individually with the single cam shaft used in common by the first and second clutches. |
