Abstract
A one-way clutch includes: an outer member that has an inner periphery including an internal gear; an inner member that is rotatably disposed, and includes an engagement portion; and a planetary gear that is rotatable relative to the inner member, meshes with the internal gear, and is prevented from rotating by engaging with the engagement portion, wherein in a state in which the outer member and the inner member rotate together, the planetary gear engages with the engagement portion; in a state in which relative rotation between the outer member and the inner member is performed, the planetary gear disengages from the engagement portion; and in a state in which the planetary gear engages with the engagement portion, a top land of the internal gear abuts on a bottom land of the planetary gear.
