A viscous coupling gear device has a first case having a protrusion extending from a surface thereof, and a second case having a surface facing the surface of the first case and a protrusion extending from the surface of the second case. A gear has a driving portion for driving engagement with a first rotary member undergoing intermittent rotation and for transmitting intermittent rotation to the gear, a tubular portion extending from the gear and mounted on the protrusion of the first case for relative rotation therewith, and a tubular wall portion extending from the gear and disposed coaxially with and spaced from the tubular portion to define a cavity therebetween, the protrusion of the second case extending into the cavity and defining, together with the cavity and the tubular wall portion, a clearance. A driving member engages with a second rotary member for transmitting rotation of the gear to the second rotary member. A viscous fluid is disposed in the clearance for absorbing a velocity variation due to the intermittent rotation of the first rotary member so that the driving member transmit a smooth and continuous rotary motion to the second rotary member. |
