Abstract
A clutch unit includes a lever-side clutch part to control transmission and interruption of rotational torque input through lever operation, and a brake-side clutch part to transmit the rotational torque from the lever-side clutch part to an output side, and interrupt rotational torque reversely input from the output side. The brake-side clutch part includes a cover constrained in rotation, an output shaft to output the rotation, an inner ring to receive the rotational torque input from the lever-side clutch part, and a cylindrical roller to control interruption of the rotational torque from the output shaft and transmission of the rotational torque from the inner ring through engagement and disengagement between an outer ring and the output shaft. The inner ring includes a slide gear which meshes with the cover during interruption of the rotational torque and is released from the meshing state during transmission of the rotational torque.
