Patent ID: 8424665

Claim:
A clutch unit, comprising: a lever-side clutch portion provided on an input side, for controlling transmission/interruption of rotational torque to an output side with lever operation; a brake-side clutch portion provided on an output side, for transmitting torque input from the lever-side clutch portion to the output side and for interrupting torque reverse-input from the output side, wherein: the lever-side clutch portion comprises an input-side member to which torque is input with the lever operation; claw portions extending in an axial direction are provided on an outer periphery of a lever-side outer race of the input-side member; the brake-side clutch portion comprises a stationary-side member restricted in rotation, the stationary-side member including a brake-side outer race arranged while being separated from the lever-side outer race in the axial direction and a cover attached to the brake-side outer race on a lever-side outer race side thereof; the claw portions of the lever-side outer race are brought into slidable contact with an end surface of the brake-side outer race with rotation of the lever-side outer race, the rotation being effected with the lever operation; and the claw portions of the lever-side outer race are allowed to come into contact, in a rotational direction, with lock portions provided on an outer periphery of the cover.
