Power transmitting apparatus for vehicle

A power transmitting apparatus for a vehicle, the vehicle including an engine, a first rotary electric machine, and a second rotary electric machine, the power transmitting apparatus comprising:

• a differential gear unit that has a first rotating element, a second rotating element, and a third rotating element, the first rotating element being connected to the first rotary electric machine, the second rotating element being connected to the second rotary electric machine, and the third rotating element being connected to an input shaft into which power from the engine is input;
• a one-way clutch that is arranged between the engine and the first rotary electric machine, the one-way clutch being configured to allow the input shaft to rotate in one direction and inhibit the input shaft from rotating in the other direction, the one-way clutch including an inner race and an outer race, the inner race being spline-engaged to the input shaft,
• a housing within which are housed the one-way clutch, the first rotary electric machine, the differential gear unit, and the second rotary electric machine;
• a first cover member that is arranged inside of the housing and is fixed to the housing, the first cover member being spline-engaged to the outer race and configured to restrict movement of the outer race in a first axial direction of the input shaft;
• a first bearing via which the input shaft is rotatably supported in a radial direction of the input shaft by the first rotating element;
• a second bearing via which the first rotating element is rotatably supported by the first cover member;
• a second cover member fastened to the first cover member, the second cover member being configured to restrict movement of the outer race in a second axial direction that is opposite to the first axial direction;
• and
• a bushing,
• wherein the first cover member has a protruding portion;
• the protruding portion extends to a position on a radially inner side of a radially outer side end portion of the inner race;
• the protruding portion rotatably supports the radially outer side end portion of the inner race via the bushing;
• and
• the protruding portion is configured to restrict movement of the inner race toward the radially inner side.
