Abstract:
1. A transmission apparatus comprising: a dividing unit; a differential planetary gear unit; and a fluid coupling; wherein a rotational power which has been input to said transmission apparatus is transmitted to said dividing unit via a single input shaft and is output to two rotating shafts; wherein one of said two rotating shafts is coupled to one of two input shafts of said differential planetary gear unit; wherein the other of said two rotating shafts is coupled to the other of said two input shafts of said differential planetary gear unit via said fluid coupling; wherein one of two rotational powers that have been output to said two rotating shafts is transmitted via said fluid coupling, and is smaller than the other of the two rotational powers; wherein the rotational power transmitted via said fluid coupling is smaller than the rotational power which has been input to said transmission apparatus; and wherein said fluid coupling has a scoop tube disposed either at a power input side or at a power output side of said fluid coupling.
