Patent attributes
A power transmission apparatus includes a clutch connected to an output shaft to rotate a wheel of a vehicle, and a clutch pressure plate movable between an operating position where driving and driven clutch plates are pressed against each other so as to enable transmission of a driving force of an engine to the wheel and a non-operating position where a pressing force exerted on the driving and driven clutch plates is released so as to cut off transmission of the driving force of the engine to the wheel. One of the driven clutch plates is attached to a second clutch, and another is attached to the clutch pressure plate. The clutch pressure plate includes an oil flow passage through which oil flows to the driven clutch plate attached to the clutch pressure plate.
