A one-way clutch comprises a stationary panel rotatably supporting in place an inner toothed ring possessing inner teeth, an output toothed wheel provided on the stationary panel at a position not to be meshed with the inner teeth of the inner toothed ring, and a planet gear interposed between the inner teeth and the output toothed wheel and adapted to be meshed with or separated from the output toothed wheel, depending on the direction of rotation of the inner toothed ring. This one-way clutch, with a braking plate attached to the output toothed wheel thereof and sealed in a damper housing together with viscous oil, can be utilized as a damper for a lid in a machine for the purpose of absorbing shocks produced only while the lid is being opened.
