ABSTRACT:
A differential gear mechanism for vehicles includes an axle shaft, a case rotated by the driving force from an engine, a pinion shaft perpendicularly intersecting the rotational axis of the case and fixed thereto, at least one pair of pinion gears rotatably supported upon the pinion shaft and supported by the case, a pair of side gears disposed within the case and enmeshed with the pair of pinion gears at both sides thereof for transmitting the driving force to the axle shaft, and a pair of pressure plates disposed exteriorly of the pair of side gears and slidably engaged with an inner peripheral face of the case at an outer peripheral face thereof. The pressure plates also support the pair of side gears and have a cam portion which is formed by end portions which extended inwardly of the case from the pair of pressure plates and from the outsides of the pair of side gears. A clutch mechanism is also interposed between the pair of pressure plates and the inner side of the case and is engaged with the pair of side gears at the inner surface thereof and with the pair of pressure plates at the outer side thereof.
