<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism capable of preventing a linear article from being cut by successively returning twisting of the linear article 6 and as a result infinitely rotating a wheel module around a vertical axis when an infinitely rotating member such as a wheel installed with an in-wheel motor, i.e. a wheel having a motor in a wheel is about to be supported such that the member can be infinitely rotated around a vertical axis. <P>SOLUTION: The rotator support mechanism comprises a body connection part 8a, a bearing 9, a bearing support 5, a rotation drive part 1, a rotation motive power output shaft 2, a wheel 3, bevel gears 7a, 7b and the linear article 6. When steering action that the wheel 3 is direction-changed around an axis perpendicular to a traveling surface is performed, by engagement of the bevel gears 7a, 7b, the rotation drive part 1 connected to the bevel gear 7b itself is rotated in an opposite direction to twisting of the linear article 6 and twisting of the linear article 6 can be disentangled. According to the present invention, the wheel module can be infinitely rotated around an axis perpendicular to the traveling surface 4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
