Abstract
In a steering damper device, a rotary damper includes a damper case, a rotary shaft rotatably supported on the case, and an actuation lever connected to the rotary shaft; the damper case is mounted to a steering side member; and a tip end of the actuation lever is connected to a frame side member. One end of a control lever is connected to the frame side member via a first pivot. A tip end of the actuation lever is connected to the other end of the lever via a second pivot. The first and second pivots are arranged so that a line connecting the centers of the first and second pivots is substantially intersected by an axis of a steering stem at a steering angle of 0°. Thus, the steering damper device can obtain desired characteristics while using a rotary damper with a simple structure.
