Abstract:
1. A driving force interrupting mechanism where a driving shaft for transmitting driving force to the side of a front wheel or to the side of a rear wheel is coupled to a driving source of a vehicle, the driving shaft is configured by an input shaft and an output shaft coaxial with the input shaft, a coupling sleeve coupled to one of the input shaft and the output shaft so that the coupling sleeve can be axially moved is moved by a fork so that the coupling sleeve is also coupled to the other of the input shaft and the output shaft, and driving force is transmitted by coupling the input shaft and the output shaft via the coupling sleeve, or driving force is disconnected by uncoupling the coupling sleeve from the other of the input shaft and the output shaft, the driving force interrupting mechanism comprising: a swinging shaft rotatably attached to a housing for supporting the driving shaft so that the driving shaft can rotate; the fork being attached to the swinging shaft so that the fork can swing; and
