Abstract: An intermittent drive device includes a tooth-missing gear having a tooth row partially missing, an output gear, an input gear provided with a first tooth row receiving a driving force and a second tooth row transmitting the driving force to the tooth-missing gear and arranged at a position apart from the output gear in a rotation axis direction. A shaft joint member moves in the rotation axis direction to a first position where the driving force is transmitted to the output gear and a second position where the transmission is released. A tooth-missing gear control mechanism starts rotation of the tooth-missing gear from a state where the driving force from the input gear is released and meshes with the input gear. A switching mechanism switches a position of the shaft joint member in the rotation axis direction between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A driving force transmission device includes a rotating body that is rotated by receiving a driving force, a control unit that controls rotation of the other rotating part by being switched between a connection state where the control unit is connected to the other rotating part and a separation state where the control unit is separated from the other rotating part as states of the control unit with respect to the other rotating part, and an operation unit that is operated by receiving a force output from the rotating body and includes a contact mechanism to be in contact with the control unit, the contact mechanism being moved by the force output from the rotating body to operate the control unit and the contact mechanism then being separated from the control unit.
