Patent ID: 8870701

Claim:
A double differential device for a vehicle, comprising: a longitudinal differential section for distributing torque to two different axles of the vehicle, the longitudinal differential section including a longitudinal differential input, a longitudinal differential output, and an axle output; a transverse differential section for distributing torque to two drive shafts or wheels on a common one of the axles of the vehicle, the transverse differential section including one transverse differential input and two driven outputs; the longitudinal differential output is in operative driving connection with the transverse differential input; the longitudinal differential section and the transverse differential section are each a planetary spur wheel gear and are arranged coaxially with a common main axis of rotation, the longitudinal differential section has a longitudinal differential planet carrier, which carries a longitudinal differential planet set, and the transverse differential section has a transverse differential planet carrier, which carries a first and a second transverse differential planet set, the longitudinal differential planet carrier and the transverse differential planet carrier are arranged rotatable relative to one another; and the two driven outputs comprise driven suns.
