Abstract
A hydraulic power-steering system for vehicles, comprises a hydraulic directional control mechanism interposed between an input shaft and an output shaft. A rotor provided in the housing of said hydraulic directional control mechanism without receiving any hydraulic reaction, rotates integrally with said output shaft, and a spool valve is fitted in said rotor to perform directional control of hydraulic fluid flowing from a pump to a steering cylinder. An input pin fixed to said input shaft circularly rotates in order to drive said spool valve and also serves as a stopper pin for engaging said input shaft with said output shaft directly when manually steering.
