Patent attributes
A drive force transmission device includes a first direction one-way clutch, a second direction one-way clutch, a second direction rotation transmission clutch, a cam mechanism and a regulating member. The first direction one-way clutch and the second direction one-way clutch are arranged to connect first and second force transmission paths between an input shaft and an output shaft to transmit rotation in first and second rotational directions, respectively. The second direction rotation transmission clutch is arranged to connect the second direction one-way clutch with the output shaft. The regulating member is coupled to the cam mechanism to regulate movement of the cam mechanism to maintain a disengaged state of the second direction rotation transmission clutch. The regulating member is arranged to be non-rotatable in response to rotation of the input shaft in the first rotational direction.
