Abstract:
1. A power transmission device for a vehicle, comprising: a rotary member that rotates for transmitting power; an operating mechanism that is capable of having a plurality of operational states including a first operational state and a second operational state; a switching shaft that switches the operational state of the operating mechanism; an electric actuator that produces power for operating the switching shaft; a control transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the electric actuator to the switching shaft; and a case that houses at least the rotary member, the case comprises: wherein: the switching shaft projects from the housing portion of the case toward the outside of the housing portion; the electric actuator is arranged at a location facing a portion of a surface of the housing portion of the case that does not overlap another portion where the switching shaft projects, when viewed in the axial direction of the rotational axis of the rotary member; at least a part of the electric actuator is arranged on a side of a plane, the plane extending parallel to the rotational axis of the rotary member and oriented so as to intersect the housing portion of the case where the switching shaft projects from the case, and wherein the rotary member is located on the side of the plane; and at least a part of the electric actuator is arranged so as to overlap the housing portion of the case, when viewed in the axial direction of the switching shaft.
