Patent attributes
A transfer includes: an input shaft; an output shaft; a high-low switching mechanism; an output member whose output destination is different from output destination of the output shaft; a clutch for transmitting a power to the output member; a first transmitting mechanism for transmitting movement of an internally threaded member to the clutch; and a drum cam having a cam groove. The cam groove includes a first inclined section that causes the high-low switching mechanism to be switched between a high-speed gear stage and a low-speed gear stage, and a second inclined section that causes the first transmitting mechanism to be switched between (i) a separated position in which the first transmitting mechanism is separated from the clutch and (ii) a contact position in which the first transmitting mechanism is in contact with the clutch, while the high-speed gear stage is established in the high-low switching mechanism.
