Abstract: A differential for interconnecting an input member to a first, second, and third output member includes a housing interconnected with the input member and with the first output member, the housing having a first portion connected to a second portion, the first portion defining a first recess and the second portion defining a second recess, wherein the first recess and the second recess are aligned and cooperate to define a slot. A key member is disposed within the slot between the first portion and the second portion. A cross member is attached to the housing. A set of pinion gears is rotatable about the cross member. A set of side gears is intermeshed with the set of pinion gears, wherein one of the set of side gears is interconnected with the second output member and another of the set of side gears is interconnected with the third output member.

Abstract: A chain link for a silent-type endless chain comprising a plate member having opposing first and second surfaces defining two apertures therethrough and two toes joined at a root. Each toe has an asymmetrical profile defined by a first flank joined to a second flank at a crest wherein the first flanks have a high-pressure involute angle and the second flanks have a low-pressure involute angle that is distinct from the high-pressure involute angle. The first flanks are oriented in a first direction and configured to engage with a plurality of asymmetrical sprocket teeth to transmit power in a first direction. The second flanks are oriented in a second direction distinct from the first and configured to engage with the plurality of asymmetrical sprocket teeth to transmit power in a second direction.
