Abstract
This clutch includes an annular clutch housing, a rotationally driven drive-side rotating body, a driven-side rotating body, a rolling body, and a support member. The clutch is configured such that, when the drive-side rotating body starts to rotate when driven, the drive-side rotating body comes into contact with the support member in a rotational direction and presses the rolling body in the rotational direction through the support member, thereby releasing the rolling body from gripping effected by the clutch housing and the driven-side rotating body. The support member includes a load generation section for generating a load which makes it difficult for the support member to rotate about the rotation axis of the drive-side rotating body when at least the drive-side rotating body starts to rotate when driven.
