ABSTRACT:
Each drive axle of a vehicle has an identical lockable differential which is controlled by a pneumatic control circuit. The control circuit is responsive to the accelerator pedal and the direction of movement of the vehicle. Each differential has a sliding collar which actuates one set out of two sets of sliding blocks to lock the differential. The collar has two cam surfaces on its inner periphery to alternately engage the two sets of sliding blocks. The sliding blocks engage chock slots located in the outer surface of a center ring and slide in radially disposed bores perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the differential. The pneumatic control circuit has electric switches which regulate the air flow and simultaneously engage all of the differential locks.
