The stopper part includes a protruded part protruded to an outer side in a radial direction with respect to a tooth tip circle of a tooth part of the second gear, and a recessed part recessed to an inner side in the radial direction with respect to the protruded part and adjacent to the protruded part in a circumferential direction and, when turning of the first gear is stopped, a tip end side of the tooth part of the first gear is abutted with the recessed part.
