Abstract
A power transmitting apparatus has a clutch housing (). A clutch member (), connected to an output member (), has a plurality of driven clutch plates () alternately arranged between driving clutch plates () of the clutch housing (). A rotational force, inputted to the input member (), can be transmitted to or cut-off from the output member () via pressure-contact or release between the driving clutch plates () and driven clutch plates (). Pressure-contact assist cams and back-torque limiting cams are formed on a pressure plateand the clutch member. The gradient angle (α) of the back-torque limiting cams is formed larger than the gradient angle (α) of the pressure-contact assisting cams.
