ABSTRACT:
A differential gear mechanism of the side gear type includes the provision of an annular extension from one side gear which provides a housing and a bearing surface for the pinions at the differential. An oscillating weight member is carried by the annular extension. The member senses the occurrence of differential rotation between the side gears and actuates a locking mechanism upon the occurrence of a predetermined degree of differential rotation.
The differential as disclosed comprises a transfer case operative to transfer power from the prime mover of a four wheel drive vehicle to its front and rear drive axles.
