<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To put a steering device to practical use, which completely concenters the turning centers of the whole wheels of a four-wheeled vehicle and the like, steers the wheels by driving a link, and sets rotation radial to zero or substantially to zero. <P>SOLUTION: (1) Left and right rods 7, 6 steering the wheels are connected to each other through a shaft (control shaft 12) and are formed bendable in a V shape. (2) The length of the left and right rods 7, 6 is adjusted, a shape easily controlled is selected from the moving loci of the shaft (control shaft 12) when the turning centers of the whole wheels are concentered and moved, and an inverted V-shape cam groove 21 matching with the shape is formed. (3) The shaft (control shaft 12) fitted into the cam groove 21 is moved in both directions by a lever or the like, and the whole wheels are steered by the left and right rods 7, 6. The steering device is configured as described above, thereby the turning centers of the whole wheels match with each other in any steering position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
