WHEELED VEHICLE STEERING MECHANISM Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B62D3/02 B62D7/08 

FIELD: transport engineering; wheeled vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mechanical mechanisms and it can be used as steering mechanism in intershop vehicles, velomobiles, electric cars, mainly, in front-wheel-drive vehicles. proposed steering mechanism of wheeled vehicle contains outlet member 7 of steering column 1, pair of driven toothed sectors 8, 9 secured on shafts 4, 5 of wheels 2, 3 and intermediate member 6 providing coupling of outlet member 7 of steering column with pair of similar driven toothed sectors 8, 9. Driven toothed sectors 8, 9 are made elliptical, with centers of rotation in one of foci and are relatively symmetrical. Intermediate member 6 has three working sections, two of which are in meshing with elliptical toothed sectors 8, 9 and third one is coupled with outlet member 7 of steering column 1.

EFFECT: provision of minimum possible of radius of turning of vehicle.
