Abstract:
1. A torque distribution-controlling apparatus by which a torque from a driving power source of a vehicle is distributed to right and left wheels of the vehicle via right and left axles of the vehicle comprising: a differential incorporating, therein, a first torque transmitting system and a second torque transmitting system, the first torque-transmitting system which transmits the torque from the driving power source to the right and left axles of the vehicle, and allows differentiation between these right and left axles, and the second torque-transmitting system which is structured to be symmetric to the first torque-transmitting system, transmits the torque from the driving power source to the right and left axles of the vehicle, and allows differentiation between these right and left axles; a left clutch controlling transmission of the torque from the first torque-transmitting system to the left axle of the vehicle; and a right clutch controlling transmission of the torque from the second torque-transmitting system to the right axle of the vehicle, wherein the first torque-transmitting system and the second torque-transmitting system possess means for restricting differentiation between the right axle and the left axle.
