Patent attributes
A device for steering a wheel assembly (3, 4, 5b) in an implement carrier (1) has a steering wheel (8) non-rotatably connected to a rotatable steering column and a transmission cable which is flexible in the plane of the steering wheel and extends over the steering wheel and forms, on both sides thereof, a cable run (11a, 11b). Two deflecting wheels (14a, 14b) arranged on both sides of the steering wheel (8) are located in a second and a third plane angled relative to the plane of the steering wheel. Two flexible steering cables (12, 15a, 12b, 15b), which at one end are connected to the respective cable runs (11a, 11b), extend over the respective deflecting wheels (14a, 14b) and at the other end are connected to the wheel assembly (3, 4, 5b). The steering cables (12a, 15a, 12b, 15b) are connected to the respective cable runs (11a, 11b) by means of a coupling element (13a, 13b) consisting of a second deflecting wheel (20a, 20b) over which the cable run extends about 180°, and a deflecting wheel holder (21a, 21b) which supports this deflecting wheel (20a, 20b) rotatably about an axis, perpendicular to the plane of said steering wheel, and to which the steering cable (12a, 15a, 12b, 15b) is connected. The cable run (11a, 1b) is fixed at its end.
