Abstract

The rotation transmission mechanism according to the present invention includes an inner rotating member and an outer rotating member rotatably disposed with respect to the inner rotating member. The inner rotating member includes an outer peripheral protruding portion protruding toward the outer peripheral side. The outer rotating member includes an annular portion and an inner peripheral protruding portion. The outer peripheral protruding portion has a forward movement surface at a position shifted from the center of the outer peripheral protruding portion along a forward rotation direction in which the rotation transmission mechanism rotates by forward movement. An elastically deforming portion is disposed between the forward movement surface and the inner peripheral protruding portion. The outer peripheral protruding portion and the annular portion are provided with guide portions for guiding the outer peripheral protruding portion so as to move the outer peripheral protruding portion slidably along the rotation direction of the rotation transmitting mechanism with respect to the annular portion.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a rotary transmission mechanism used by mounting to a rotational shaft such as a bicycle crank shaft or the like, wherein the rotary transmission mechanism is capable of switching between a first operation mode that uses an elastic deformable member and a second operation mode that does not use the elastic deformable member. [Solution] A rotary transmission mechanism 1 comprises a clutch plate 6 provided on the side of a cover 4c for an external rotational member 4 so as to be detachable from and not rotate with respect to the external rotational member 4. An engaging convex part 8 is formed on a convex part 3b on an internal rotational member on the side facing the clutch plate 6. An engaging hole that engages with the engaging convex part 8 of the internal rotational member so as not to rotate when approaching the cover 4c of the external rotational member 4 is drilled in the clutch plate 6.
