Abstract
A friction resistance generation mechanism is disposed between two relatively rotatable members of a rotating mechanism. The mechanism includes an input side disk-like plate, output side disk-like platesand, first friction shimsA, and second friction shimsB. The first friction shimsA are frictionally engaged with the platesand, and engaged in a manner that allows torque to be transmitted by way of a first rotational direction gapA to the plate. The second friction shimsB are frictionally engaged with the platesand, and engaged in a manner that allows torque to be transmitted to the plateby way of a second rotational direction gapB with a different size than the first rotational direction gapA.
