Claim:
1. A selectable one-way clutch comprising: a first plate; a second plate placed on a same axis as the first plate, the second plate having a recessed portion; a claw provided in the first plate, the claw being configured to project from the first plate toward the second plate, the claw being configured to mesh with the recessed portion of the second plate in a state where the claw projects from the first plate only at a time when the second plate rotates in a predetermined rotation direction; a selector plate placed between the first plate and the second plate, the selector plate being configured to change a state of the claw between a state where the claw is projectable from the first plate and a state where the claw is maintained to be accommodated on a first-plate side; and an outer shell configured to cover an outer periphery of the first plate, the first plate being mounted on a holding member such that the first plate is non-rotatable around the axis and moves in a direction of the axis, the outer shell being configured to be immovable relative to the holding member and displaced from the axis in a radial direction, the outer periphery of the first plate covered with the outer shell and an inner periphery of the outer shell that covers the outer periphery of the first plate having a tapered shape in which a diameter of each of the outer periphery of the first plate and the inner periphery of the outer shell are gradually reduced toward a direction distanced from the second plate, and a biasing member provided between the first plate and the outer shell, the biasing member being configured to bias the first plate and the outer shell in directions where the first plate and the outer shell are distanced from each other.
