THREE WHEEL STEERING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A vehicle has a chassis with at least one front wheel (10) pivotable about a first vertical axis to control the direction of the vehicle. A rigid swing arm (30) is pivotally mounted on the rear end of the chassis for pivoting about a horizontal axis. On the rear end of the swing arm (30) is a wheel mounting assembly including a hub (52) and pivot means (36, 40) mounting the hub (52) on the rear end of the swing arm (30) for pivotal movement about a second vertical axis. The rear wheel (12) is rotatably supported on the hub (52) and naturally tracks the front wheel (10) in a cooperating turning arc.
