Abstract
A clutch unit used for a vehicle seat includes an input side clutch is configured such that one member of the input side inner ring member and the input side outer ring member rotates with a rotation of the operation lever, and the other member of the input side inner ring member and the input side outer ring member is rotated via the input side transmission member, so that the rotation of the operation lever is transmitted to the output side clutch. A rotation suppressing member configured to urge the other member in the rotation axis direction and apply a rotational resistance force greater than a force for the co-rotating is provided so as to suppress co-rotation of the other member. A pressing force transmission portion configured to transmit a force the rotation suppressing member urges in the rotation axis direction to the output side transmission member is provided.
