Abstract
A plate spring body (support member) elastically supports an inner gear (second bevel gear) relative to an outer gear (first bevel gear). Ring springs (fluctuation suppressing member) are further provided to reinforce the elastic support, so as to suppress fluctuation of the inner gear along a direction nearly perpendicular to an axis connecting the center of rotation of the outer gear and contact part with a hypoid pinion gear (third bevel gear).
