Abstract
A driving force interrupting mechanism for interrupting a driving force to a driving shaft. The mechanism includes a spindle rotatably attached to a first housing body for supporting the driving shaft so that the driving shaft can be rotated, a fork attached to the spindle so that the fork can be swung, and a lost motion mechanism that renders further rotation of the spindle to be ineffective in swinging the fork when the spindle is rotated and the fork is swung to a predetermined position in which an input shaft and an output shaft are coupled is provided on the spindle. The resulting configuration is compact and cost effective.
