combination with a tiller disposed at right angles to a rudder and having a longitudl- I nal slot, a longitudinally movable rod having a device operating in the slot of the tiller and connecting the rod thereto and means to actuate said rod as hereinafter '5 described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is an elevation ofa steering gear constructed in accordance with my invention, as applied to the rudder or" a. boat. Pig. 2 is a plan of the same.
In accordance with my invention, the tiller 1 which is attached to the rudder head 2 is disposed at right angles to Lhe rudder ranged longitudinally of the craft in a plane 3 so that the tiller is disposed athwartship, instead of extending fore and at: when the vessel is proceeding on a straight course. I also provide a longitudinally movable rod 4; which is mounted in suitable guides 5 with which the vessel is provided. The said rod has a pin 6 which extends upwardlv through Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 516,652.
teeth 8 and the front portion of the rod is mounted in a guide 9 which may be secured and operates in a longitudinal slot 7 with which the tiller is provided so that the said i in presence of two witnesses.
rod is connected to the tiller and longitudinal movement of the rod will cause angular movement of the tiller and rudder as will be understood. The rod is provided on one side near its front end with a series of rack i l l on the deck, or on a thwart, beam, or other supporting object. The said guide is provided with. a hearing 10 to a vertical shaft 11 which is here shown as aaving a steering wheel 12 at its upper end and is provided atits lower end with a pinion 13 which engages the rack portion of the rod so that the rod may be moved longitudinally to steer the vessel, by means of the steering wheel, tt. id shaft 11, and the said pinion 13. I also show a lever 14 which may be employed to operate the rod 4. Said lever is here shown as pivotally mounted as at 15 in bearings 16 ona suitable support 17 and as provided with a longitudinal slot 18 which is engaged by a pin 19 that operates in said slot.
\Vhat is claimed is A steering mechanism for water craft comprising a rudder, a tiller connected with the rudder and arranged at a right angle thereto and having a longitudinal slot, :1 rod arabout parallel with the plane of the rudder when the latter is set straight ahead, a pin attached to the rod and arranged to operate in the slot of the tiller, guide means for causing the rod to move in a rectilinear line, and means for moving the rod rectilinearly to eifect angular movement of the rudder.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature LUMAN GEO. HEUSTED.
