    Abstract: To maintain smooth rotation of a pinion gear, a differential device includes: a differential case including a case main body and a bearing boss protruding from the case main body and rotatably supported about a first rotation axis; a side gear; and a pinion gear. An introduction groove for introducing lubricating oil into the case main body is formed on the bearing boss. An inner surface groove communicating with the introduction groove and extending toward the pinion gear is formed on the case main body. The inner surface groove includes a first groove portion and a second groove portion positioned radially outward from the first groove portion in the radial direction. The shape of at least a part of the first groove portion is a shape over which the lubricating oil is hard to climb during vehicle forward movement as compared with the shape of the second groove portion.

    Abstract: An all-wheel drive vehicle driveline can include an input member, first intermediate member, output member, sleeve, ring gear, and pinion gear. The input member can be coupled to an input of a differential mechanism for common rotation. The output member can be coupled to an output of the differential mechanism for common rotation. The sleeve can be axially movable between a first position wherein the input, output, and first intermediate members are rotatable relative to each other, a second position wherein the sleeve couples the input member to the first intermediate member for common rotation, and a third position wherein the sleeve couples the input member to the output member for common rotation. The ring gear can receive rotary power from the first intermediate member. The pinion gear can be meshingly engaged to the ring gear.

    Abstract: In a differential device distributively transmitting rotational force of an input member rotatable together with a pinion support portion to paired output shafts via paired side gears, the support portion is connected to and supported by the input member with high strength without specially forming a through-hole for supporting a pinion in the input member, and without worsening assembly workability. The differential device includes: an attachment body having a retaining hole capable of being fitted and retaining an entire periphery of the pinion support portion; an attachment groove formed in the input member and having an opening opened to one side surface of the input member and from which the attachment body is insertable into the groove; and a cover portion clamping the attachment body inserted into the groove between the cover portion and an inner surface of the groove and fixing the attachment body to the input member.
