Abstract:
A composite gear includes: a first member comprising a rotation shaft portion and a disk-shaped web extending in radial directions from the rotation shaft portion; and a second member comprising at least one engaging tooth on an outer periphery thereof and provided being supported by the web so as to surround an outer periphery of the first member. A space is provided between the second member and an outermost peripheral surface of the first member in a radial direction, a space is provided between the first member and an innermost peripheral surface of the second member in a radial direction, and at least one of the first member and the second member is formed to nip another of the first member and the second member from both sides thereof in an axial direction of the rotation shaft portion.
