Abstract
A power transmission member that transmits rotation of an output shaft to a movable mechanism achieves a simpler structure and increased productivity compared to when a conventional flexible cable is employed. Out of plural output portionsof a clutch unitpower transmission members that transmit rotation of an output shaftto a movable mechanism are configured by a conventional torque cable in a second output portionB and a third output portionC. However in a first output portionA, the power transmission member is configured by a gearboxincluding a wormthat is coaxially and integrally formed with an output shaftA.
