Abstract
A driving device includes a motor including a rotating shaft, a drive transmission member attached to the rotating shaft and including a contact portion, and a drive output member including a contacted portion with which the contact portion comes into contact, and configured to be rotated around the rotating shaft when the rotating shaft of the motor is driven and the drive transmission member is rotated together with the rotation shaft in a first direction. The drive transmission member further includes an engaging portion. The drive output member includes an engaged portion with which the engaging portion is to be engaged when the drive output member is rotated relative to the drive transmission member in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A driving force is transmittable to the drive output member whether the drive transmission member is rotated in the first direction or the second direction.
