Abstract:
A rotating apparatus comprising:a motor disposed in a body; a rotation member rotatable for rotating by transferring a driving force generated by said motor, said rotation member being detachable from the body; a driving shaft for transferring the driving force by rotation in a prescribed direction, said driving shaft being disposed in the body; a driving force receiving device for receiving the driving force, said driving force receiving device being disposed in the rotation member and having a driving force receiving joint; a driving force transferring device for transferring said driving force from said driving shaft to the rotation member, said driving force transferring device being engaged with said driving shaft and including a driving force transferring joint for engaging with said driving force receiving joint; a moving member for moving said driving force transferring device back and forth along said driving shaft so as to respectively engage and disengage said driving force transmitting joint with said driving force receiving joint when the driving force receiving device contacts the driving force transferring device; a guiding member provided on at least one of said driving shaft and said driving force transferring device; and a cam shaft positioned in said guiding member, said cam shaft being provided on at least one of said driving shaft and said driving force transferring device, wherein said cam shaft is positionable in proximity with one end of said guiding member when said driving force receiving joint engages with said driving force transferring joint, and being positionable in proximity with a second end of said guiding member when said driving force transferring joint is separated from said driving force receiving joint and positioned at an initial position, and, wherein said cam shaft is tightly fitted when at said first end of said guiding member, and is loosely fitted when located at said second end of said guiding member.
