Abstract
An axially displaceable brake element is arranged in facing relation to an operating element which is pivotable through a predetermined circumferential angle, with clutch balls engaged in grooves having slanted bottoms and formed in mutually facing side surfaces of the brake element and the operating element. Pivoting of the operating element causes displacement of the brake element relative to the operating element. A friction plate is spline-fitted on an output hub so as to be displaced only in the axial directions and arranged selectively for frictional contact with the brake element or the operating element. Displacement of the brake element toward the operating element causes frictional engagement of the friction plate with an input hub to obtain engagement of the clutch, while displacement of the brake element away from the operating element causes frictional engagement of the friction plate with the brake element to obtain disengagement of the clutch and braking of the output hub.
