Abstract
A vehicular aerodynamic device includes first and second links being coupled via first and second engagement members and integrally rotating, thereby transmitting drive force to an aerodynamic member. The first and second engagement members are coupled to the first and second links, respectively, and integrally rotate by engaging with each other, and rotate relative to each other by external force. At least one of a first coupling portion that couples the first link and the first engagement member and a second coupling portion that couples the second link and the second engagement member includes clutch-side and link-side engagement surfaces integrally rotating by engaging with each other. A second gap between the clutch-side and link-side engagement surfaces in a second relative rotation direction is narrower than a first gap between the clutch-side and link-side engagement surfaces in a first relative rotation direction.
