  • Patent number: 4405140
    Abstract: An improved steering linkage (31, 36-42, 45, 46, 49, 50, 83, 84, 86, 87, 95, 96) for four runner steering of a bobsled (10) employs sheathed cables (83 and 84) coupled between bell cranks (45 and 46) and the right front and rear runner assemblies (22 and 23). The steering system extends through the front and rear axles (68 and 69) which are coupled to the frame (12) through a suspension system. The cables 83 and 84 slide when steering system is actuated, but are not displaced by movement of their supporting sheaths. The cables (83 and 84) also have a small amount of slack, which allows the runner assemblies (22 and 23) to be displaced vertically in a banked turn without adversely affecting the steering of the sled (10).
