Abstract
A simplified steering mechanism having both wheel steering and wheel tilting capabilities is provided. The mechanism comprises a generally planar platform, a plunger assembly attached to the bottom face of the platform, top and bottom axles of equal length, and a pair of wheels. Each axle intersects an intermediate space in the plunger assembly at an approximate midpoint, the ends of the axles being pivotally attached to the wheels when a downward vertical force is exerted on one of the longitudinal sides of the platform, the wheels tilt and turn simultaneously relative to the platform.
