Abstract

A slip clutch mechanism is provided with a clutch shaft rotated by a driving power source, a pair of slip pinions supported on the clutch shaft in such a manner as to be rotatable around the clutch shaft, and a pair of slip washers supported on the clutch shaft, in such a manner as to be rotatable as unified with the clutch shaft and movable in the axial direction of the clutch shaft and as to get into frictional contact with the individual sliding pinions at the inner sides thereof. A compression coil spring member is interposed between the slip washers and brings the slip washers into frictional contact with the slip pinions. An output shaft is rotated by one of the pair of slip pinions.
