The transfer further comprises a disc pressing pin (50) inserted through a hole (11D-4) in the support member, a pressing plate (51) disposed on the outer side of the support member, and plate pressing means. The plate pressing means presses the pressing plate, the pressing plate presses the disc pressing pin, and the disc pressing pin presses a press brake disc (35C). ## Claims ### Claim 1 A transfer incorporating a wet brake, comprising, in a case: a first gear having a first gear shaft connected to a rotary shaft of a driving source; a second gear having a second gear shaft and meshing with the first gear; a wet brake disposed on a base end side of the second gear shaft; a sun gear provided at a top end portion of the second gear shaft; a ring gear disposed in such a manner as to surround the sun gear; and a plurality of planetary gears disposed between the sun gear and the ring gear and meshing with the sun gear and the ring gear; and an output shaft having a base end portion to which third gear shafts of the planetary gears are attached and having a top end side protruding from the case, wherein the wet brake is configured to transmit a rotational force of the driving source to the output shaft through the first gear, the second gear, the sun gear, and the planetary gears, the wet brake includes: a brake hub provided in such a manner as to be rotatable with the second gear and the second gear shaft as a unit; a rotating-side brake disc attached to an outer peripheral portion of the brake hub; a fixed-side brake disc disposed in such a manner as to face the rotating-side brake disc; and a press brake disc for pressing the rotating-side brake disc and the fixed-side brake disc, the brake hub and the second gear shaft are rotatably supported by a first bearing and a second bearing, the first bearing interposed between a projection of a first support member of the case and an inner peripheral surface of a recess formed on a base end of the brake hub, the projection disposed on an inner side of the recess, to support radial and axial loads between the brake hub and the first support member, the second bearing interposed between a second support member of the case and a top end portion of the brake hub, the second support member surrounding the top end portion of the brake hub, to support radial and axial loads between the brake hub and the second support member, the transfer further comprises: a plurality of disc pressing pins respectively inserted through a plurality of holes formed in the first support member; a pressing plate disposed on an outer side of the first support member; and a plate pressing unit, and the transfer incorporating a wet brake is thereby configured such that the plate pressing unit presses the pressing plate, the pressing plate presses the disc pressing pins, and the disc pressing pins press the press brake disc. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The transfer incorporating a wet brake according to claim 1, wherein the pressing plate is disposed in a space section formed between the first support member of the case and a cover member of the case covering the first support member, the plate pressing unit includes pin pressing means and a plate pressing pin inserted through a hole formed in the cover member, and the pin pressing means presses the plate pressing pin, and the plate pressing pin presses the pressing plate. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The transfer incorporating a wet brake according to claim 2, wherein the plate pressing pin has: a head portion inserted through the hole formed in the cover member, and configured to press the pressing plate; a shank portion inserted through a hole formed in the pressing plate. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The transfer incorporating a wet brake according to claim 3, wherein a gap is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the hole formed in the pressing plate and an outer peripheral surface of the shank portion of the plate pressing pin. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The transfer incorporating a wet brake according to claim 1, wherein the brake hub is spline fitted to a base end portion of the second gear shaft. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The transfer incorporating a wet brake according to claim 2, wherein the brake hub is spline fitted to a base end portion of the second gear shaft. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The transfer incorporating a wet brake according to claim 3, wherein the brake hub is spline fitted to a base end portion of the second gear shaft. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The transfer incorporating a wet brake according to claim 4, wherein the brake hub is spline fitted to a base end portion of the second gear shaft.
