Class Information
Number: 180/254
Name: Motor vehicles > Having at least one wheel both driven and steerable > Steerable wheel has exclusive axis of pivot (i.e., stub-axle type) > Including flexible, axially rotatable means having one portion fixed to vehicle and another portion pivotable with wheel for transmitting drive thereto
Description: Vehicle wherein the arrangement for drivingly rotating the steerable wheel includes means (e.g., a shaft) which (a) is flexible (e.g., by means of a universal joint), (b) is rotatable about an axis corresponding generally with its centerline, (c) has one portion (e.g., that adjacent the vehicle"s motor) anchored, except for axial rotation, to the vehicle (e.g., to its body, chassis, differential, etc.), and (d) has another portion located at or adjacent to the wheel and pivotable therewith, the purpose of the means being to transmit rotational drive to the wheel regardless of its angle of pivot.
