A DEVICE FOR STEERING RETURNABILITY AND CENTERING OF VEHICLE

摘要

This invention relates to a device for steering returnability and centering of vehicle comprises of at least two spiral springs, an arbor, case assembly and mounting means. Wherein said spiral springs are provided on said arbor coaxially and the unit of said springs and arbor is assembled inside the said casing assembly. Said arbor is adopted to be rotatably engaged with steering column/wheel and said casing assembly is mounted on mounting means. When steering wheel is turned in either direction the springs provide return torque so that the wheel comes back to neutral position. The invention thus provides steering returnability in response to large steering wheel inputs and steering centering in response to spurious steering inputs, thus eliminating the need of providing positive caster in the suspension. The invention is compact and has least number of parts. Apart from that the device is easy to assemble and manufacture.
