Patent ID: 8113326

Claim:
A clutch unit comprising: a lever side clutch section provided on an input side, for controlling transmission/interruption of rotational torque to an output side through lever operation; and a brake side clutch section provided on the output side, for transmitting input torque from the lever side clutch section to the output side and interrupting reverse input torque from the output side, wherein the lever side clutch section includes a lever side outer ring to which the input torque is input, wherein the brake side clutch section comprises: a coupling member to which the input torque from the lever side clutch section is input; an output side member from which the input torque is output; a stationary side member constrained in its rotation; and a plurality of pairs of engagement members arranged in a gap between the stationary side member and the output side member, for controlling transmission of the input torque from the coupling member and interrupting the reverse input torque from the output side member through engagement/disengagement between the coupling member and the output side member, and wherein the stationary side member of the brake side clutch section forms an outer ring and comprises a plate member formed by punching and a cover formed by press working, the plate member and the cover being integrally fixed together by swaging by means of a side plate.
