ABSTRACT:
According to the clutching device of the present invention, a flexible member, which uniformly forces a plurality of friction plates almost in the circumferential direction, is inserted between edge faces, of fixed friction plates, to which no load is applied at the time of engagement, and a spline face that is opposite to the edge faces. The insertion position is selected at such a location where the rotational direction of a rotary body is diagonally upward and toward the center. Since a load on and a degree of distortion of the flexible member are small, the flexible member can be compactly made and can have a simple design, and the mounting structure on the spline side is also simpler.
The clutching device with this structure effectively prevents the vibration of friction plates, requires only a small number of components. And additional components are easily installed and removed.
