A bevel gear 11 journaled to the low speed rotating body 3 is engaged with the high speed rotating body 1 and the fixing member 6. A bevel gear 14 journaled to the middle speed rotating body 2 is engaged with the high speed rotating body 1 and the low speed rotating body 3. Ratchet pawls 21, 22 and 23 are provided on each of outer peripheral parts of the high speed rotating body 1, the middle speed rotating body 2 and the low speed rotating body 3.
