Abstract
The present invention obtains a multi-shaft drive device that can protect a rack and pinion from operative load input to a selector. The multi-shaft drive device is provided with: an input-side bevel gear () to which motor power is transmitted; and an output-side bevel gear () that transmits the power transmitted from the input-side bevel gear () to a movable mechanism. The multi-shaft drive device is further provided with: a selector () that connects/disconnects the meshing of the output-side bevel gear () and the input-side bevel gear (); and a rotating shaft () that causes the selector () to slide via a rack () and pinion (). Furthermore, the angle of rotation of the rotating shaft () is regulated by the end of the pinion () contacting a vertical wall (A) of a case ().
