Intermittent gear member, intermittent gear mechanism, and magnetic recording and reproduction apparatus including the same

摘要

An intermittent gear member, which intermittently rotates alternately in first and second opposite rotational directions within an angular range of 360° or less, includes a disk part, a gear part formed over a predetermined angular range on the circumferential surface of the disk part, and a rotation stopper cam part formed on the toothless part of the circumferential surface of the disk part so as to protrude therefrom, the toothless part corresponding to the range other than the range over which the gear part is formed. The gear part and the rotation stopper cam part are provided in the same plane.
