  • Recumbent tricycle with controlled wheel and body lean
    Patent number: 6402174
    Abstract: Three-wheeled vehicle with an adjustable leaning and steering mechanism, permitting operator-controlled wheel and body lean as the vehicle is making a turn. The vehicle (100) has a leaning main frame (20) that carries the pedals (21) and crank assembly (22), recumbent seat (30) and rear wheel (40). Towards the front of the vehicle (100), a perpendicular axle housing (42) mounted with pivotal collar (44) allows the main frame (20) to lean right or left. Axle housing (42) carries the cantilevered steering arms (46) and adjustable steering levers (48). An axle (56) runs through the axle housing (42) and a spindle (60) and control arm (58) is pivotally connected to each end of the axle (56). Wheels (70R and 70L) are mounted on each spindle (60). Swivel tie rods (72) connect the control arms (58) of both front wheels (70R and 70L) to the main frame (20) so that when the main frame (20) is leaned, all wheels (70R, 70L and 40) lean laterally, producing simultaneous wheel and body lean.
