Patent ID: 7562884

Claim:
A vehicle having at least one axle ( 3 ) with left and right wheels ( 2 A, 2 B) which are steerable via a knuckle steering system ( 4 ), wherein the knuckle steering system ( 4 ) comprises a main steering cylinder device ( 6 ) flexibly connected with respective left and right track rods ( 8 A, 8 B) which, in turn, are respectively operatively connected with left and right wheel carriers ( 10 A, 10 B), and each of the left and the right wheel carriers ( 10 A, 10 B) being fixedly connected with a respective wheel hub ( 11 A, 11 B) which supports one of the left and the right wheels ( 2 A, 2 B), a left lever element ( 13 A) being flexibly connected to the left track rod ( 8 A), in an area between the main steering cylinder device ( 6 ) and the left wheel carrier ( 10 A, 10 B), while a right lever element ( 13 B) being flexibly connected to the right track rod ( 8 B), in an area between the main steering cylinder device ( 6 ) and right wheel carrier ( 10 A, 10 B); the left track rod ( 8 A) comprises a first partial left track rod ( 8 A_ 1 ) flexibly connected to a second partial left track rod ( 8 A_ 2 ) by at least one connecting joint ( 8 A_ 3 , 15 A) such that the first partial left track rod ( 8 A_ 1 ) being movable relative to the second partial left track rod ( 8 A_ 2 ), and the the right track rod ( 8 B) comprises a first partial right track rod ( 8 B_ 1 ) flexibly connected to a second partial right track rod ( 8 B_ 2 ) by at least one connecting joint ( 8 B_ 3 , 15 B) such that the first partial right track rod ( 8 B_ 1 ) being movable relative to the second partial right track rod ( 8 B_ 2 ); each of the left and the right lever elements ( 13 A, 13 B) being rotatably about a respective fixed pivot ( 14 A, 14 B) such that, according to a position of the fixed pivot ( 14 A, 14 B) and a position of the left and the right lever elements ( 13 A, 13 B), deviation from a desired steering angle of one of the left and the right wheels ( 2 A or 2 B) traveling along an outside a curve in relation to a desired steering angle of the other of the left and the right wheels ( 2 B or 2 A) traveling along an inside the curve is minimized.
