WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/045111

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Provided is a tilting vehicle, including two front wheels to be tilted and steered, that makes it possible to increase a steering angle while the two front wheels are in a tilted state and prevent an enlargement of the periphery of the front wheels. A holder holds a ball portion of a ball stud rotatably, and has an opening through which the ball stud passes. The opening has at least a first inner edge portion, a second inner edge portion, a third inner edge portion, and a fourth inner edge portion, and is formed such that, when the two front wheels are steered or tilted from a steering neutral position and a tilting neutral position, an operating angle of the ball stud changes between the first inner edge portion and the second inner edge portion which are formed to be located outside relative to the outermost contour of the ball portion, in a direction perpendicular to the center line of the ball stud in the steering neutral position and the tilting neutral position, and that the third inner edge portion and the fourth inner edge portion which are formed to be located inside relative to the outermost contour of the ball portion are each formed between the first inner edge portion and the second inner edge portion.
