Hydrostatic steering device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
In a hydrostatic steering device having a valve member rotatably circumferentially surrounding a shaft connected valve seat to form a valve for the device, the valve extending for a certain axial length of the device, fluid passageways in the device leading to the valve, the valve member having an outer surface, and the device also having a resilient connection between the rotary valve member and valve seat, the improvement of the resilient connection being located within the certain axial length of the valve of the device, and one fluid passageway surrounding and extending by itself through and about the outer surface of the valve member with the other fluid passageways leading otherwise to the valve.
2.
In a hydrostatic steering device having a valve member rotatably circumferentially surrounding a shaft connected valve seat to form a valve for the device, the valve extending for a certain axial length of the device, and the device also having a resilient connection between the rotary valve member and valve seat, the improvement of the resilient connection being located within the certain axial length of the valve of the device, and said resilient connection including a heavy pin, means to connect said heavy pin to one of the valve member or valve seat for rotation therewith, and means to resiliently connect said heavy pin to the other of said valve member or valve seat.
3.
The improved hydrostatic device of claim 2 wherein the device has fluid passageways and characterized in that said means to resiliently connect said heavy pin to the other of said valve member or valve seat includes a drive cavity and said drive cavity being one of the fluid passageways of the device.
4.
The improved hydrostatic device of claim 2 wherein the device has a second shaft means having a longitudinal axis and characterized by the addition of a connecting pin, said connecting pin having two ends, one end of said connecting pin being located in one of the valve member or the second shaft means extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second shaft means, a hole, said hole being located in the other of the valve member or the second shaft means and the other end of said connecting pin extending into said hole, said connecting pin rotatably connecting the valve member to the second shaft means
