Claim:
1. A selectable one-way clutch comprising inside clutch elements and outside clutch elements, the inside clutch elements including a first inside plate and a second inside plate which are disposed on a shared axial line with each other, and the inside clutch elements being switchable between a lock mode where torque transmission from the second inside plate to the first inside plate is allowed in a case where a rotational direction of the second inside plate is a predetermined direction and the torque transmission is blocked in a case where the rotational direction is an opposite direction to the predetermined direction; and a release mode where the torque transmission from the second inside plate to the first inside plate is blocked in either case where the rotational direction of the second inside plate is the predetermined direction or the opposite direction, and the outside clutch elements including a first outside plate and a second outside plate which is in a hollow-shape, the first outside plate being located on an outer circumferential side of the first inside plate; disposed on the shared axial line; and provided integrally or disintegrally with the first inside plate, and the second outside plate being located on an outer circumferential side of the second inside plate; and disposed on the shared axial line, and the outside clutch elements being switchable between a lock mode where torque transmission from the second outside plate to the first outside plate is allowed in a case where a rotational direction of the second outside plate is the predetermined direction and the torque transmission is blocked in a case where the rotational direction is the opposite direction to the predetermined direction; and a release mode where the torque transmission from the second outside plate to the first outside plate is blocked in either case where the rotational direction of the second outside plate is the predetermined direction or the opposite direction, wherein the inside clutch elements and the outside clutch elements are disposed coaxially using the shared axial line as a center wherein the second outside plate is rotatable independently of the second inside plate, and wherein the second inside plate is fixed to a first shaft and the second outside plate is fixed to a second shaft which is disposed coaxially with the first shaft.
