Patent ID: 7029415

Claim:
A differential apparatus for distributing a rotational driving force from a transmission output shaft to a first driving wheel and a second driving wheel comprising: a first driving shaft connected to the first driving wheel; a second driving shaft connected to the second driving wheel; a driven gear disposed on the first driving shaft; and a driving gear which is positioned near the transmission output shaft to be meshed with the driven gear; wherein adjacent tooth surfaces of the driving gear are formed to have different pressure angles from each other, and a differential limiting force is generated by a meshing reaction force which is varied depending on a meshing direction of the driving gear, and said differential apparatus further comprising: a differential case connected to the transmission output shaft; a first driving gear which is housed in the differential case to be meshed with a first driven gear disposed on the first driving shaft; a second driving gear which is housed in the differential case to be meshed with a second driven gear disposed on the second driving shaft; and an intermediate gear which is integrally disposed on the second driving gear to be meshed with the first driving gear.
