Abstract

1415053 Steering vehicles and vessels SVENSKA KULLAGERFABRIKEN AB 9 Feb 1973 [10 Feb 1972 20 March 1972] 6561/73 Headings B7H and B7V In a steering assembly for a vehicle or a vessel of the type in which the rotary motion of the steering wheel 1 is transmitted to the steering gear by a flexible shaft 3, the steering wheel 1 is connected to the flexible shaft 3 via step-up gearing 2 and the shaft 3 is connected to the steering gear via step-down gearing 4. Thus the shaft 3 will have a higher rotational speed than the steering wheel 1 which reduces the torsion spring effect of shaft 3 so that there is no feeling of play when turning the steering wheel. In a first embodiment (Fig. 3) a vehicle is provided with a steering wheel 1 which is connected to the flexible shaft 3 via stepup planetary gearing 2 and a bevel gear (not shown). The shaft 3 is connected to the steering gear 12 via step-down gearing 4. The steering gear 12 includes a nut and screw transmission 8 which converts the rotary motion of the step-down gearing 4 into translatory motion of a rod 9. The rod 9 is pivoted to a steering arm 14 which steers wheels 19 via tie rods 15 and arms 16. In a second embodiment of vehicle steering (Fig. 5) the steering wheel 1 is connected to shaft 3 via step-up planetary gearing 2 and is adjustably mounted on bracket 23 by lever 24. The shaft 3 is connected to the input shaft 10 of step-down gearing 25, 26 and gear 26 is mounted on the nut 27 of a nut and screw steering gear 12. The ends of screw 28 are connected by ball joints 31 to tie rods 15 which steer the wheels as shown in Fig. 3. A servo-mechanism may also be connected to input shaft 10. In a modification two flexible shafts 3, 3<SP>1</SP> are provided and are connected to step-up gearing 2 so that they rotate in opposite directions and the shafts are given oppositely directed torsional prestresses. In a third embodiment (Fig. 6) a steering assembly for a vessel includes a steering wheel 1 which is connected to a pair of oppositely torsionally prestressed flexible shafts 3, 3<SP>1</SP> by means of step-up gearing 2 and the shafts 3, 3<SP>1</SP> are connected to step-down gearing 4. Rotary motion of output shaft 11 of the gearing 4 is converted to translatory motion of rod 9 by means of nut 27 and screw 28 transmission 8. The free end of rod 9 is pivoted to a tiller 35 fitted to the rudder head of the rudder 33. A servo mechanism may be incorporated in steering assembly at a location between stepdown gearing 4 and the screw and nut transmission 8. The vessel may be steered automatically by a control unit 36 having an electric motor (not shown) which drives the steering wheel 1 by chain or belt drive 1. The control unit 36 is powered by a battery 37 and may steer the vessels in response to signals from a compass 38 or from a wind vane 39. In a modification (not shown) the steering gear 8 may be connected to an outboard motor pivotally mounted at the stern of the vessel.
