Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotation force transmission mechanism ( 30 ) includes a torque limiter ( 50 ), a breaking member ( 60 ) and a clutch member ( 55 ). The torque limiter ( 50 ) is configured to couple the first rotating member ( 35 ) and the driving source ( 40 ) to each other so as to able to transmit the rotation force until a torque of a predetermined value is applied, and to decouple from each other if a torque larger than the predetermined value is applied. The braking member ( 60 ) is configured to apply a torque exceeding the predetermined value to the first rotating member ( 35 ). The clutch member ( 55 ) is capable of being switched into a transmission state in which the rotation force can be transmitted to the first rotating member ( 35 ) and an interruption state in which the transmission of the rotation force is interrupted, in the second rotation force transmission path (P 2 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A rotation force transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotation force from a single driving source to a first rotating member and a second rotating member, the rotation force transmission mechanism comprising: a first rotation force transmission path configured to transmit the rotation force in a first direction from the driving source to the first rotating member; a second rotation force transmission path configured to transmit the rotation forc…
