Abstract:
[Problem] A drive unit (10) for driving, via a first and second geared cable (8, 9), a first and second member to be driven (sun roof and shade) provided to an opening part formed on the secured roof of a vehicle, wherein while being able to switch between a state in which the power from a motor (18) is transferred to both the first and second members to be driven and a state in which the power is selectively transferred to the first or second member to be driven, the member to be driven, in which the transfer of the power from the motor (18) is blocked, is prevented from moving during an impact when the vehicle collides in the selective transfer state. [Solution] The output path of the motor (18) is divided into a first and second output shaft (22, 42). Moreover, a first and second electromagnetic clutch (24, 44) for switching between connecting/disconnecting a first and second pinion gear (23, 43) to/from the first and second output shafts (22, 42) is provided, and each pinion gear (23, 43) is secured to a frame (3) so as to not be able to rotate when disconnecting from the clutches (24, 44).
