A reverse input blocking clutch comprises, as main elements, an input
member, an output member, a stationary member for constraining the
revolutions, locking means, lock release means and torque transmission
means. By forming the input member, the output member, the stationary
member and a fixed side plate from metal plates such as press worked
steel plates, a compact, lightweight and low cost reverse input blocking
clutch is provided. Reverse input torque from the output member is locked
in both the forward and reverse rotational directions relative to the
stationary member, by rollers which function as the locking means. Input
torque from the input member in both the forward and reverse rotational
directions is transmitted to the output member via apertures 1d and
protrusions which function as the torque transmission means.
