Abstract

775,534. Steering vehicles. ZOCCHI, G. Oct. 24, 1955 [Oct. 29, 1954], No. 30271/55. Class 79(5). A light-weight motor vehicle comprises steering mechanism, which is displaceable in order to allow the load to be symmetrically disposed, consisting of transverse guide rails 12, 13 rigid with the vehicle frame 1 carrying supports for foot control pedals 28, and means slidable along the rails 12, 13 for supporting a steering wheel 19, and a steering gear box 15 for transmitting the drive from the steering wheel 19 to a pin 4 mounted on the frame 1. As shown, as applied to a three-wheel vehicle adapted to seat a single person centrally, or two persons side-by-side with the steering column and controls on either the right or left hand sides, a frame 16 has sleeves 17, 18, slidable respectively on the guide rails 12, 13. The frame 16 is rigid with the gear box 15 and carries the foot control pedals 28. The latter, as well as controls 29 mounted on the control column 20, are connected by Bowden cables to the power unit 9 which is rigid with the mounting for the steerable road wheel 5. The wheel mounting is provided by an arm 7 pivotally mounted at 7a to a frame 6 which is rigid with the pin 4. As shown, the gear box 15 comprises a crown wheel and bevel drive from the control column 20 to a shaft 24 connected by a parallel linkage 25, 26, 27, to the pin 4. The latter permits lateral movement of the steering mechanism relative to the guide rails 12, 13 without affecting the steering geometry. The control column may alternatively be connected to the bevel wheel gear box 15 by a universal joint so as to enable the inclination of the control column 20 to be adjusted. The crown and bevel gear may be replaced by a worm drive. The Bowden cable connections between the control sand the power unit may be replaced by either a telescopic coupling link arrangement, or by hydraulic control means. The gear box 15 may alternatively be mounted on the frame 1.
