Latest Patents
Kobetitsch holds a patent for a Vehicle Steering Assembly. This assembly is designed to enhance the steering of a pair of vehicle wheels. It features a tie rod assembly with first and second tie rods, each having inboard and outboard ends. The inboard ends can be coupled to the output member of a steering gear or supported on a movable support member. The outboard ends connect to the vehicle wheels, specifically to tie rod arms extending from steering knuckles. Notably, the inboard ends of the tie rods are positioned forward of the outboard ends, which increases the effective length of the tie rod assembly as the turn angle of the vehicle wheels increases. This design reduces toe out of the vehicle wheels and tire wear while allowing sufficient clearance with wheel and brake components.
