Abstract: Provided is a roller-type clutch that is capable of realizing reliable engagement, reducing drag torque, and achieving a long service life with a simple structure requiring no adjustment, while enhancing assembly ease, miniaturization, and cost reduction. In order to achieve this, the clutch is configured such that a biasing member that biases a torque-transmitting roller arranged between an inner ring and an outer ring toward one circumferential side is constituted of an annular elastic body, a balance roller or a biasing-force adjusting protrusion serving as a biasing-force adjusting member paired with the torque-transmitting roller is arranged on another circumferential side of the torque-transmitting roller, and the biasing member is wound around the torque-transmitting roller and the biasing-force adjusting member in a crossed manner.
