Abstract
An actuator includes an input member, a first output member, a second output member, and a power transmission switching unit. The power transmission switching unit establishes a first connection state in which the first output member rotates forward/backward in line with forward/backward rotation of the input member in a first state, establishes a second connection state in which the second output member rotates forward in a second state, establishes a third connection state in which the second output member rotates backward in a third state, establishes the first connection state in which a predetermined range is shifted to the forward rotation side when the input member rotates backward in the second connection state, and establishes the first connection state in which the predetermined range is shifted to the backward rotation side when the input member rotates forward in the third connection state.
