ABSTRACT:
A full-time four-wheel drive apparatus for an automotive vehicle includes a planetary gear unit for shifting purposes, a shift changeover unit, a differential unit and a transfer unit for transferring rotating power from the rear-wheel side to the front-wheel side or vice versa. The shift changeover unit is arranged on the side of said planetary gear unit directed to the input shaft of the four-wheel drive apparatus, the carrier of the planetary gear unit is connected to the output shaft of the four-wheel drive apparatus, the differential unit is arranged between the planetary gear unit and the transfer unit, and a rotating force outputted by the planetary gear unit is transferred to the rear-wheel side and front-wheel side. Fluxure force exerted on a main shaft caused by the transfer unit based on a chain is eliminated and axial length of the apparatus is reduced.
