1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a steering knuckle structure, and more particularly to a steering knuckle for playing cars or scooters.
2. Description of the Prior Art
There are a number of playing cars on the market. As shown in
The riding device includes the deck upon which a rider can be supported. Front and rear wheels provide independent steering upon tilting or banking of the deck in use. The steering column is connected to the front wheels to provide additional steering control. The steering column tilts in unison with the deck and provides no steering effect upon deck pivoting alone.
Thus, the rider turns the handle to links the front wheels to turn simultaneously, and the deck also tilts towards the same side.
However, the weight of the handle falls onto the axle member, which may break the pivoting point easily and cause an accident.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a steering knuckle structure, which is safe and stable to a user.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a steering knuckle structure, which has a longer service life.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a steering knuckle structure, which is easy to operate and to maintain.
As shown in
The front strut 1 has a connecting pipe 11 at the bottom thereof.
The connecting device 2 comprises an upper section 21 and a lower section 22. Both the upper section 21 and the lower section 22 are in a semi-circular shape and correspond to each other for wrapping of the connecting pipe 11 therein. Both the upper section 21 and the lower section 22 comprise extending edges 212 and 222 with holes 211 and 221 thereon, respectively. The upper section 21 further comprises a slot 213 on its top for the front strut 1 to insert there through. The lower section 22 is secured on the middle portion of the sleeve 3.
To assemble the present invention, as shown in
The connecting pipe 11 of the front strut 1 can make a movement relative to the connecting device 2 secured on the middle portion of the sleeve 3, so that the front strut 1 can swing relative to the sleeve 3.
To operate the present invention, as shown in
The connecting device 2 enclosing the connecting pipe 11 makes the design more solid in use.
