A drive force transmission device includes a first direction one-way clutch, a second direction one-way clutch, a second direction rotation transmission clutch, a cam mechanism and a regulating member. The first direction one-way clutch and the second direction one-way clutch are arranged to connect first and second force transmission paths between an input shaft and an output shaft to transmit rotation in first and second rotational directions, respectively. The second direction rotation transmission clutch is arranged to connect the second direction one-way clutch with the output shaft. The regulating member is coupled to the cam mechanism to regulate movement of the cam mechanism to maintain a disengaged state of the second direction rotation transmission clutch. The regulating member is arranged to be non-rotatable in response to rotation of the input shaft in the first rotational direction.

An apparatus for producing a variable configuration die by using a plurality of pins is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a pin storing device for storing the pins therein; a pin piling device in which the variable configuration die is to be produced; a robot device for transferring the pins from the pin storing device to the pin piling device for making up the variable configuration die; and a computer-aided control device for controlling the robot means in such a manner that the pins carried by the robot means are placed onto given positions of the pin piling device to cause the variable configuration die thus made of the piled pins in the pin piling device to have a layered structure. The variable configuration die thus made up has a recessed die surface which is defined by one ends of the piled pins.
