Clutch apparatus

A clutch apparatus to transmit a rotational driving force of an input shaft to an output shaft or cut off the rotational driving force, the clutch apparatus comprising:

• a clutch center housed in a clutch housing holding input-side rotary plates to be rotationally driven in response to rotational driving of the input shaft, the clutch center holding output-side rotary plates arranged alternately with the input-side rotary plates, the clutch center being rotationally driven together with the output shaft;
• a pressure assembly movable toward or away from the clutch center and rotatable relative to the clutch center, the pressure assembly being able to push the input-side rotary plates and the output-side rotary plates;
• a disc spring provided concentrically with the pressure assembly, the disc spring urging the pressure assembly in a first direction, the first direction being a direction in which the pressure assembly moves toward the clutch center and a second direction being a direction in which the pressure assembly moves away from the clutch center;
• and
• a clutch spring urging the pressure assembly in the first direction;
• wherein
• the pressure assembly includes a housing portion to house the clutch spring;
• and
• an outer edge of the disc spring in a radial direction of the output shaft is located outward of the clutch spring in the radial direction.
