Patent ID: 8313117

Claim:
A child's vehicle comprising: a hollow frame comprising a cross tube and a fork support tube affixed thereto; a wheel mounted to a wheel fork, the wheel fork including a fork tube which extends into the fork support tube; a rider platform for supporting the rider; a secondary steering column disposed behind the rider platform and extending into the frame; a first flange affixed to the fork tube to rotate therewith, the first flange being located within the frame; a second flange affixed to the secondary steering column to rotate therewith, the second flange being located within the frame; a first steering coupling member comprising a first rigid rod disposed on a first lateral side of each of the two flanges, the first rigid rod extending from the first flange to the second flange, the first rigid rod being located within the frame, the first rigid rod coupling the flanges together such that as one flange rotates the other flange also rotates; a second rigid rod disposed on a second lateral side of each of the two flanges opposite the first lateral side; wherein: when the fork tube is turned sufficiently far in a first rotational direction, the first rigid rod encounters a first stop member preventing further rotation of the fork tube in that first direction; and when the fork tube is turned sufficiently far in a second rotational direction, the second rigid rod encounters a second stop member preventing further rotation of the fork tube in that second direction.
