Abstract
A universal steering system designed for all-wheel drive, remote control, zero turn, and positive traction. The universal steering system is configured to control the wheel deflection of each wheel of a vehicle. The universal steering system is usable for vehicles including automobiles, motorized dollies, floor jacks, toolboxes, tables, carts, skateboards, and other wheeled vehicles.
Claims15
A universal steering system comprising:
- a frame;
- at least one motor;
- a plurality of wheels;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one steering system including at least one steering component, at least one actuating mechanism, and at least two steering rods;
- wherein the frame is connected to the plurality of wheels;
- wherein the at least one steering component is connected to the at least one actuating mechanism and the at least two steering rods, wherein the at least one actuating mechanism is operable to move the at least one steering component in a counterclockwise motion or a clockwise motion;
- wherein the at least one processor is in electric communication with the plurality of wheels and the at least one motor;
- and
- wherein, via the at least one motor, the at least one processor is designed to control each wheel of the plurality of wheels, wherein the at least one processor is operable to deflect at least one wheel of the plurality of wheels.
