DEVICE FOR SWITCHING OVER DESTINATION TO WHICH DRIVE IS TRANSMITTED, DRIVE DEVICE, DISK DEVICE, AND CONNECTION SWITCHOVER DEVICE

摘要

In switching over of gears (753A, 753B, 753C) of a gear train (753) for transmitting driving force, a swing pedestal (752) is swing by swing of a gear pedestal (751) to move a second engagement gear (752B) to the direction where it is separated from the gears (753A, 753B, 753C) with which it has been meshed. Then, before the second engagement gear (752B) meshes with the gears (753A, 753B, 753C) to which driving force is to be transmitted next time, the second engagement gear (752B) is returned to a state where the direction of swing of the swing pedestal (752) meets a radial direction that runs from the axis of the gear pedestal (751) to a first engagement gear (752A).
