Cross Axis Helical gear set based Steering System for Reverse Trikes
20210039739 · 2021-02-11 ·

This non-tilting steering system for reverse trikes uses three cross axis helical gear set. Steerer rod at the center, and steerer rod controlling the wheels are connected to cross axis helical gear set. Central gear set as well as gear set on the wheel consist of one vertical helical gear meshingly engaged, on its front and rear side, with two transversely oriented horizontal helical gears. Steerer rod at the center upon rotation via handle rotates coaxial worm gear which in turn rotates pinion helical gears engaged with it. Pinion helical gears at the center then rotates transverse helical gears of the gear set of the steering system at each of the wheels via a transmission shaft which in turn rotates the vertical helical gears attached to steerer rods of the wheels, thus rotating the wheels. This steering system can also be used in a four wheeler.
