Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide a coupling structure of driving force transmitting members, wherein the variety of complex-type driving force transmitting parts to be combined by using a plurality of driving force transmitting members can be increased as many as possible. Respective gear members are provided with concave coupling portions on one sides in the axial line direction and convex coupling portions on the other sides in the axial line direction. The respective convex coupling portions are fitted into the respective concave coupling portions, whereby the gear members are coupled to integrally rotate. Thus, it is possible to selectively combine a plurality of gear members and construct many kinds of complex-type gear members.
