Abstract
A clutch unit includes a lever-side clutch part that controls transmission and interruption of rotational torque input through a lever operation, and a brake-side clutch part that transmits the rotational torque from the lever-side clutch part to an output side, and interrupts rotational torque reversely input from the output side. The brake-side clutch part includes an outer ring, which is constrained in rotation, an output shaft that outputs the rotation, and a cylindrical roller that controls the interruption of the rotational torque reversely input from the output shaft and the transmission of the rotational torque input from the lever-side clutch part through engagement and disengagement between the outer ring and the output shaft. The output shaft includes a slide gear, which meshes with a side plate during interruption of the rotational torque and does not mesh with the side plate during transmission of the rotational torque.
