ABSTRACT:
A differential for motor vehicles uses a crown or ring gear attached to a drive shaft to drive a single pinion gear attached to a first axle half shaft positioned at right angles to the drive shaft. In one embodiment, a second opposing axle half shaft is allowed to free wheel within the differential case. In a second embodiment, the opposing axle half shaft is slippably driven by the first axle half shaft by means of a clutch coupling the first and second axle half shafts.
In a third embodiment, first and second axle half shafts are rigidly coupled to one another.
