  • Patent number: 10465755
    Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch includes: a driving-side rotatable body that is rotated about an axis of a rotatable shaft of a drive-subject device; and a driven-side rotatable body that is placed on one side of the driving-side rotatable body in an axial direction. The electromagnetic clutch includes a flat spring that is formed to be rotatable integrally with the rotatable shaft of the drive-subject device and is joined to the driven-side rotatable body. The electromagnetic clutch includes a blocking member that is installed to the flat spring. A primary through-hole is formed in the driven-side rotatable body. A secondary through-hole is formed in the flat spring. Switching between coupling and decoupling between driving-side rotatable body and the driven-side rotatable body is made through elastic deformation of the flat spring. The blocking member closes the secondary through-hole.
