Abstract

On a shaft (2) which carries a wheel there are mounted: firstly a toothed sector (3) which meshes with a rack (4) on a piston rod (5) which is a part of a double-acting hydraulic actuator (8); and secondly a cam (12) which acts on two rocking levers (13, 14) to apply a bolt (13B, 14B) against a stop face (10A, 10B) of the rod (5) when, by directly swivelling the wheel, the toothed sector (3) is disengaged from the rack (4).
