In a clutch (6) for locking a differential gear for a vehicle, a movable half (60) of the clutch (6) is pushed indirectly via a sliding sleeve (70) and intermediate members (77) in an engaging direction. Then the sliding sleeve (70), with a locking surface (74), retains the intermediate members (77)
In a clutch (6) for locking a differential gear for a vehicle, a movable half (60) of the clutch (6) is pushed indirectly via a sliding sleeve (70) and intermediate members (77) in an engaging direction. Then the sliding sleeve (70), with a locking surface (74), retains the intermediate members (77) firmly in a locking position between a bearing surface (64) of the movable half (60) and an axially stationary retaining surface (4). Flanks (52, 62) of clutch teeth (51, 61) of an axially stationary half (50) and of the movable half (60) form in the axle direction a deflection angle (55). The bearing surface (64) and the retaining surface (4) form a wedge angle (65). The locking surface (74) of the sliding sleeve (70) is inclined in an axial direction forming a small releasing angle (75). To open the clutch (6), the sliding sleeve (70) is pulled away. A torque produces through the deflection angle (55) an axial deflection force which then disengages the clutch (6). The intermediate members (77) are, at the same time, pushed out of their locking position by the wedge angle (65). A small retaining force and a small releasing force on the sliding sleeve (70) are sufficient to keep engaged and to disengage the clutch (6) even against maximum torque.

A clutch, having an axis of operation, comprising: an axially stationary half (50) and an axially movable half (60), both said stationary and said movable halves (50, 60) of said clutch (6) carry clutch teeth (51, 61) located to engage one another, and said clutch teeth (51, 61 ) extending parallel
A clutch, having an axis of operation, comprising: an axially stationary half (50) and an axially movable half (60), both said stationary and said movable halves (50, 60) of said clutch (6) carry clutch teeth (51, 61) located to engage one another, and said clutch teeth (51, 61 ) extending parallel to said axis, each tooth of said clutch teeth having a crest and root spaced apart in a direction parallel to said axis by a pair of flanks (52, 62) inclined to taper that tooth to reduce its width from the root to the crest in a direction parallel to said axis; said mavable half (60) having a support face (64); an axially stationary support face (4); means for moving a sliding sleeve (70) from a first position to a second position in which said sliding sleeve (70) biases, via intermediate members (77) distributed on the periphery thereof, said movable half (60) toward said stationary half (50) to engage said clutch (6) and retaining upon engagement of said clutch, via a substantially axially extending locking face (74) supported by said sliding sleeve, said intermediate members (77) in a locked position located axially between the movable support face (64) of said movable half (60) and the axially stationary support face (4); said support face (64) of said movable half (60) and said stationary support face (4) forming a wedge angle which, when said clutch (6) is fully engaged and a torque is produced by said clutch (6), produces a radial force on said intermediate members (77), via an axial rejection force of said clutch teeth (51, 61), which forces each said intermediate members (77) against said locking face (74); and upon said means for moving the sliding sleeve (70) allowing said sliding sleeve (70) to return to its first position, said intermediate members (77) being released from the locked position and the produced torque disengaging said clutch (6), wherein said sliding sleeve (70) is non-rotatably connected with said movable half (60).
