- the tooth thickness of the one end in the axial direction may be larger than the interval between the teeth of the first gear.
- At least one of the first gear and the second gear is urged in a direction parallel to the tooth width direction and in a direction in which the first gear and the second gear mesh with each other. It is preferable to provide a biasing member.
- the first gear can be constantly maintained at a position where backlash hardly occurs with respect to the second gear by the biasing force of the biasing member.
- each tooth whose thickness gradually decreases from one end in the axial direction to the other end is from the one end in the axial direction from the one end. It is preferable to have a shape in which the tooth dimension gradually decreases toward the other end.
