Abstract
In a predetermined first state, a distance (D) in a second direction between a contact portion (P) between a input-side engaging part () and an input-side engaging part () and a rotation center (O) is larger than a distance (D) in the second direction between a contact portion (P) between an output-side engaging part () and an output-side engaged part () and the rotation center (O). In a locked state or a semi-locked state, a contact portion (C) between the output-side engaging part () and the output-side engaged part () is located closer to the rotation center (O) of the output member () in a first direction than an imaginary straight line (L) connecting a contact portion (C) between one pressing surface () of the pair of pressing surfaces () and a pressed surface () to the rotation center (O) of the output member ().
