Abstract
A damper device may include a baffle to open/close an opening part; a motor; and a gear train connecting the motor and the baffle and including a partially toothless gear and a sector gear. The partially toothless gear may include an outer peripheral part so as to have an outer peripheral face curved along a tooth tip circle of the teeth part. The outer peripheral part may include an end face at a midway position of the teeth part in the axial line direction where a length in the axial line direction is shorter than a tooth width of the teeth part. The sector gear may include a first tooth cut out facing the outer peripheral face and configured to enter in to an inner peripheral side of the tooth tip circle. A second tooth disposed adjacent to the first tooth and configured to abut the outer peripheral face.
