Abstract
A dog clutch for a vehicle includes gear-side meshing teeth provided on a shifting gear fitted so as to be rotatable relative to a shaft, and a dog ring disposed adjacent to the shifting gear in the axial direction of the shaft. The dog ring includes a first ring, a second ring, and springs interposed between the two rings. The first ring is provided with meshing teeth that can be meshed with the gear-side meshing teeth of the shifting gear. The second ring is provided with meshing teeth that can be meshed with the gear-side meshing teeth of the shifting gear. The springs are provided on the inner peripheral side of a circle that is centered on a rotational axis and that circumscribes a portion of the meshing teeth of the first ring and the second ring positioned on the outermost peripheral side.
