Abstract
The axial displacement of the clutch retainerof the roller clutchis prevented. And, part of the clutch retaineris prevented from rubbing the portion which rotates together with the follower pulleyto suppress the heat generation during overrun. Accordingly, grease degradation is prevented and durability and reliability are improved. Bevel is formed on the inner periphery of the outer clutch-raceof the roller clutchand on the outer periphery of rollersat an axial end thereof. Accordingly, the circumferential location of the rollersis properly maintained and the installation of the outer clutch-raceon the outer diameter side of the rollersand so the assembling process thereof become easy.
