ABSTRACT:
A mechanical rotary coupling is provided in which a crown wheel is driven by a drive shaft and is coupled by a floating ring and co-operating ball races and bearings to a thrust cage locked to a hub or a vehicle road wheel. The crown wheel, ring, and cage are mounted on a common shaft and variable axial thrust is applied to the thrust cage to provide variable torque transmission between the crown wheel and the road wheel. The variable thrust is applied by varying the separation of two cams, one of which is fixed and the other of which abuts a thrust race for drive engagement with the thrust cage. The transmission members may be duplicated on the other side of the crown wheel to provide mutual or differential drive to two road wheels.
