A shock-absorbing member 18a comprises combined held sections 33 that are located at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction and that comprise paired held sections 25a, 25b that each have a mirror symmetry about an imaginary plane that passes through the center axis of the shock-absorbing member 18a and that are inclined in a direction toward the imaginary plane with respect to the radial direction as going toward the outside in the radial direction. Side surfaces 29a, 30a in the circumferential direction of the drive-side arm sections 21a and the driven-side arm sections 23a that are positioned at the front in the direction of rotation of the drive shaft 12a are inclined in a direction toward the front in the direction of rotation with respect to the radial direction as going toward the outside in the radial direction; and when the drive shaft 12a is rotated and driven, forces inward in the radial direction of the shock-absorbing member 18a act on the held sections 25a that are held between the side surfaces 29a in the circumferential direction of the drive-side arm sections 21a that are positioned in the front in the direction of rotation and the side surfaces 30b in the circumferential direction of the driven-side arm sections 23a that are positioned in the rear in the direction of rotation.
