AXLE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMISSION FOR AN ENGAGEABLY DRIVEN VEHICLE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An axle differential transmission for an engageably driven vehicle axle (10), which has two shaft ends and is part of a motor vehicle, wherein said axle differential transmission comprises a clutch assembly (14), which is integrated in a transmission case (16) between a drive shaft (8) and a housing input shaft (27) of a differential stage (15), for selectively connecting a drive to the vehicle axle (10), wherein the clutch assembly (14) comprises clutch plates (29a, 29b), wherein at least one part of the clutch plates (29a, 29b) comprises freewheel means (12), in order to transmit the driving torque, generated by the drive shaft (8) in the torque transmission direction of the freewheel means (12) that corresponds to a forward direction of travel of the motor vehicle, to the differential stage (15), as soon as this differential stage is above a defined limit torque and the driving torque is distributed in equal parts to the shaft ends of the vehicle axle (10).

Abstract
An axle differential transmission for an engageably driven vehicle axle, which has two shaft ends and is part of a motor vehicle, wherein said axle differential transmission comprises a clutch assembly, which is integrated in a transmission case between a drive shaft and a housing input shaft of a differential stage, for selectively connecting a drive to the vehicle axle. The clutch assembly comprises clutch plates, wherein at least one part of the clutch plates comprises freewheel means, in order to transmit the driving torque, generated by the drive shaft in the torque transmission direction of the freewheel means that corresponds to a forward direction of travel of the motor vehicle, to the differential stage, as soon as this differential stage is above a defined limit torque and the driving torque is distributed in equal parts to the shaft ends of the vehicle axle.
