Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the turning radius of a car body and improve the following performance and stability in turn by arranging one steered wheel at the center of the front part of a car body and arranging spherical driving wheels on the front and rear both sides of the car body. CONSTITUTION:A steered wheel 2 is arranged at the center of the front part of a car body 1, and four spherical driving wheels 3 are arranged at both the front and rear side parts of the car body 1. During the traveling by the drive of four spherical driving wheels 3, the car body 1 is turned by steering one wheel 2. Since only one wheel 2 at the center of the front part is steered, the turning radius of the car body 1 can be reduced. Further, since each of four driving wheels 3 is formed to spherical, and arranged on the front and rear both sides of the car body, the following performance and stability of the car body 1 in turn can be improved.

A total of four spherical drive wheels installed on both the front and rear sides of the car body are driven, and when the car is running, one wheel installed in the front center of the car body
Turn by steering each wheel. Since only one wheel in the front center portion is steered in this way, the turning radius becomes small. In addition, the four drive wheels are spherical and each is attached to the front and back sides of the vehicle body, which improves the followability and stability of the vehicle body when turning.

Next, the operation of the automobile shown in FIG. 12 will be explained in detail. During one run by driving a total of four spherical drive wheels (3) provided on both the front and rear sides of the vehicle body (1), the vehicle body (1)
By steering one wheel (2) installed in the front center of 1),
rotate. In this way, only one wheel (2) at the front center portion is steered, so the turning radius becomes small. Furthermore, the four drive wheels (3) are spherical and are each attached to the front and rear sides of the vehicle body (1), which improves the followability and stability of the vehicle body (1) when turning.
