Abstract
A power transmission device includes a driving rotary member, a driven rotary member fixed to one end of a rotary shaft of a driven device, a first intermediate friction member disposed between the driving rotary member and the driven rotary member, and a spring for pressing the driving rotary member against the first intermediate friction member, thereby pressing the first intermediate friction member against the driven rotary member. The driving rotary member is provided with at least one first concave segment, the driven rotary member is provided with at least one convex segment and at least one second concave segment, and the first intermediate friction member is provided with at least one lug. The at least one lug is adapted to engage the at least one first concave segment and to simultaneously abut the at least one convex segment. The at least one lug also is adapted to slip off the at least one convex segment, disengage from the at least one first concave segment, and engage the at least one second concave segment when a torque applied to the driving rotary member exceeds a predetermined torque.
