Travelling soil cultivation appliance, especially a lawnmower

Abstract

A soil cultivation appliance, especially a lawnmower, which can be motor-driven or manually driven. The appliance is provided with a steering shaft and a steering frame or wheel for the operator. The steering device enables the soil cultivation appliance to change direction due to the fact that torque is introduced into the housing of the soil cultivation appliance by the steering shaft. The torque is used to change the direction of the advancing movement, to the left or to the right, without needing to steer the wheels. An advantage of the appliance is that, when the steering shaft is arranged on the housing in a continuously pivotable manner, the position of the operator is independent from a thrust frame or the like, by which means the soil cultivation appliance must be mechanically guided.
