ABSTRACT:
A hub clutch for wheels of a four-wheel drive vehicle need not be operated by the driver from the exterior of the vehicle. The hub clutch comprises a sleeve drive clutch member fixed to a drive shaft, a slide clutch member engaged to the drive clutch member through splines formed thereon and movable in the axial direction and a driven clutch member adapted to be connected to or disconnected from the slide clutch member by axial movement thereof. A retainer is engaged to a stationary system. Resilient means biases the slide clutch member in an axial direction of the drive shaft. A cam mechanism moves the slide clutch in the axial direction, thereby carrying out a clutch connection when relative rotation is present between the retainer and the slide clutch member, and releasing the clutch connection when the relative rotation becomes absent and a drive is provided from the driven clutch member side.
