前記ピストンに対して同軸に、かつ、前記ピストンに対して相対回転を阻止された状態で前記ピストンに支持された第1回転軸側摩擦板と、
前記第1回転軸に対して同軸に、かつ、前記第1回転軸に対して相対回転を可能に配置され、前記第1爪部と係合可能な第2爪部を有する第2回転軸と、
前記第2回転軸に対して同軸に、かつ、前記第2回転軸に対して相対回転を阻止された状態で前記第2回転軸に支持された第2回転軸側摩擦板とを備え、
前記第1回転軸と前記第2回転軸は、前記油室への圧油の供給に基づいて前記ピストンの前記第1爪部と前記第2回転軸の前記第2爪部とが係合することにより、回転の伝達が可能な状態に接続され、
前記第1回転軸側摩擦板は、前記油室への圧油の供給に基づいて前記ピストンの前記第1爪部と前記第2回転軸の前記第2爪部とが係合するときに、前記第1爪部と前記第2爪部とが係合するのに先立って前記第2回転軸側摩擦板と摩擦接触し、
前記第1爪部と前記第2爪部との係合面は、前記第1回転軸と前記第2回転軸との間で回転を伝達しているときに、前記第1爪部と前記第2爪部とに互いに軸方向に離れる方向の力が加わる傾斜面となっていることを特徴とする動力伝達装置。
