  • Torque transmission differential for motor vehicles
    Patent number: 7217217
    Abstract: The invention relates to a torque transmission differential for motor vehicles comprising a casing which is selectively rotated around an axis y–y?; a drive wheel axle with an axis Y–Y?; a gearing which is disposed inside the casing and which transmits the rotation movement from the case to the drive wheel axle; and a muzzle which is solidly connected to the casing and which is disposed between the gearing and the internal surface of the casing The gearing generally lies within an ellipsoid of rotation and the muzzle is more or less in the shape of an ellipsoid of revolution which is concentric to the gearing.
