Abstract

A steering mechanism with time derivation wherein a servo member dependent upon an angular velocity of a steering wheel is connected in the manner of a gear system by means of a summing gear mechanism with a servo member dependent on an angle of the steering wheel turn and also with a servo member dependent on an angle of the wheel turn of steered vehicle wheels. A gear element of the summing gear mechanism pertaining to the servo member dependent on the angular velocity is supported toward a housing by way of a resilient support. The servo member dependent on the angular velocity is positively turned off with respect to its action on the summing gear mechanism if the steering wheel angle exceeds a specific limiting angle.
