One-way coupling
Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses one example of a one-way coupling that eliminates the need for a component corresponding to a guide piece. The one-way coupling of the present discloser includes an input shaft and an output shaft, and is configured to transmit a drive force from the input shaft to the output shaft, and inhibit the drive force inputted to the output shaft from being transmitted to the input shaft. The one-way coupling includes: a transmitter; an immovable ring; a pressure-contact cam; a first wedge member displaceable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and receiving a pressing force from the pressure-contact cam when the drive force is inputted to the input shaft, and thereby the first wedge member is displaced to the locked position; and a first holder holding an arrangement of the first wedge member when the drive force is inputted to the output shaft.
