A ring gear of a differential connected to an engine, and a sun gear and a planetary carrier are connected to left and right output shafts of the differential. A first pinion and a second pinion integrally formed and having different circle radii are carried on a carrier member which is rotatably fitted over the left output shaft. The first pinion is connected to the right output shaft, while the second pinion is connected to the left output shaft. When a hydraulic clutch is brought into an engaged state during clockwise turning of a vehicle, the carrier member is decelerated to accelerate a left front wheel, and a torque is transmitted to the left front wheel. When a hydraulic clutch is brought into an engaged state during counterclockwise turning of a vehicle, the carrier member is accelerated to accelerate a right front wheel, and a torque is transmitted to the right front wheel.
A power transmitting system for a vehicle having an input shaft and two rotary output shafts connected to said input shaft through a differential for receiving a torque from said input shaft, comprising a torque transmitting means mounted between said two rotary shafts and capable of transmitting a torque between said two rotary shafts, said torque transmitting means comprising a carrier member rotatably carried for rotation about one of said rotary shafts, first and second pinions integrally formed to have different pitch circle radii and rotatably carried on said carrier member, connecting means for connecting said first and second pinions to said rotary shafts, respectively, a carrier member accelerating member for accelerating said carrier member and a carrier member decelerating means for decelerating said carrier member.
A power transmitting system for a vehicle having an input shaft and two rotary output shafts connected to said input shaft through a differential for receiving a torque from said input shaft, comprising a torque transmitting means mounted between said two rotary shafts and capable of transmitting a torque between said two rotaty shafts, wherein said torque transmitting means comprises:
