Abstract
The present invention refers to a steering device for sports articles (1) adapted to slide on a supporting surface (2) by means of a plurality of supporting and sliding elements (3) provided in an in-line arrangement; the steering device comprises a chassis (5), to which there is associated at least a carriage 6a adapted to swing relative to said chassis (5), against the force of elastic means (17, 18), about an axis (7) that is inclined by an angle (x with respect to said supporting surface (2) and lies substantially on the median longitudinal plane (4) of the chassis (5). The carriage (6)a is adapted to support at least two supporting and sliding elements (3) in a manner that the respective support axes (25, 26) come to lie substantially parallel to said supporting surface (2) on opposite sides with respect to the pivoting, i.e. swinging centre (27) of said carriage 6a relative to said chassis (5).
