Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0914848A2] A steering device (1) interposed between the front wheel (4) and the frame (3) of a vehicle (2) having at least two wheels (4, 5) resting on the ground; the device having a supporting element (7) hinged to the frame (3) so as to oscillate about an axis (A) parallel to the rotation axis (B) of the rear wheel (5); an elastic damping element (8) interposed between the frame (3) and the supporting element (7) to maintain the supporting element (7) in a given position with respect to the frame (3); and a fork (9) fitted to the supporting element (7) so as to rotate about a given rotation axis (C); the front wheel (4) being fitted to the fork (9) so as to rotate about a rotation axis (D) not intersecting the rotation axis (C) of the fork (9); and the device having an elastic reaction element (10) for maintaining the fork (9) in a rest position in which the front wheel (4) is aligned with the rear wheel (5). <IMAGE>
