Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus ( 10 ) for use in turning steerable vehicle wheels ( 14, 16 ) includes a steering member ( 12 ) which is linearly movable relative to the vehicle to effect turning movement of the steerable vehicle wheels. A pinion ( 28 ) is disposed in meshing engagement with a rack portion ( 30 ) of the steering member ( 12 ). A steering column ( 22 ) is connected with the pinion ( 28 ) and with a vehicle steering wheel ( 20 ) such that rotation of the steering wheel results in linear movement of the steering member. An electrically powered steering unit ( 40 ) is connected to the steering member ( 12 ) for providing steering feel to the operator. A hydraulic power steering motor ( 60 ) mechanically connected to the steering member provides steering assist to the steerable wheels ( 14, 16 ).
