Abstract
A selective actuating apparatus involves a barrel rotated due to rotation of a driving motor , a revolving shaft A supporting rotatably the barrel , and a barrel rotated as a result of transmitting torque in the case where the barrel is rotated in a direction b indicated by an arrow wherein a cam section B is defined on the barrel . In this condition, when the barrel rotates in a direction a indicated by an arrow, the torque does not transmit to the barrel , but the barrel is allowed to displace along the revolving shaft A due to sliding motion in between a projection A formed on the barrel and a projection D formed on the inner circumference of the barrel in a stepped manner. As a result, the selective actuating apparatus by which a plurality of driving objects can be driven without requiring a plurality of driving sources, so that its driving system can be downsized is obtained.
