Abstract

See full text

A steering apparatus for a vehicle, includes: a handle element for actuating the steering by hand; a lever element for transmitting a torque to a steering axle of the steering column of the vehicle in order to steer the vehicle; and a coupling device for coupling the handle element to the lever element so as to convert a force in order to convert a steering movement carried out on the handle element into a rotational movement of the lever element about a steering angle with respect to the steering column. The handle element is rotatably mounted relative to the lever element, and the coupling device is designed to convert the rotational movement of the lever element that occurs in the event of a steering movement into a translational movement of a coupling element of the coupling device, and then convert the translational movement back into a rotational movement of the handle element relative to the lever element such that during the translational movement of the coupling element, the coupling element is operatively connected to a guide, in the sense of a forced guiding process, such that a geometric course of the guide defines a steering angle-based curve of the rotational movement of the handle element.
