Abstract
A clutch center includes a pressure receiving part. A pressure plate includes a pressure applying part. A clutch part is disposed between the pressure receiving part and the pressure applying part. A cam mechanism includes a first cam part and a second cam part. The first cam part and the second cam part are offset from the clutch center and the pressure plate in an axial direction. The first cam part includes a first slope. The second cam part includes a second slope opposed to the first slope. When the first cam part is rotated relatively to the second cam part in a first direction making up a circumferential direction, the first and second slopes are pressed against each other and separate from each other. The pressure applying part moves toward the pressure receiving part as the first cam part and the second cam part separate.
