  • Drive device for vehicle auxiliary machine
    Patent number: 9212605
    Abstract: A drive apparatus for a vehicle auxiliary device is provided that basically includes first and second drive sources, an auxiliary device, first, second and third rollers, first, second and third idler rollers and a roller pair selection mechanism. The first, second and third rollers are linked to rotary shafts of the first and second drive sources and the auxiliary device. The first, second and third idler rollers are disposed at gap positions formed between the first, second and third rollers. The roller pair selection mechanisms select a power-transmitting roller pair from among the first, second and third rollers by selectively moving the first, second and third idler rollers in roller contact directions, thereby interposing the first, second and third idler rollers therebetween.
