PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability for straight-running and turning by using a simple and compact mechanism in a running vehicle comprising: a straight-running gear shift device 25 for transmitting power to a right and a left running units 2 supporting a running machine body 1 a turning gear shift device 28 for transmitting power reversely to the running units a gear shift operation tool 13 for the straight-running gear shift device and a turning operation tool 10 for the turning gear shift device.SOLUTION: On a turning input shaft 72 to be rotated by a turning operation tool, a gear shift controller 81 is enabled to turn freely on a speed-change axis X perpendicular to the turning input shaft, and a turning controller 82 is enabled to turn freely on a turning axis Y perpendicular to both the axis of the turning input shaft 72 and the speed-change axis X. Both of them are associated with a gear shift operation tool as turn with inclinations on those individual axes, and the speed of the straight-running gear shift device is changed by the inclined turn of the gear shift controller, and the speed of the turning gear shift device is changed by the turn of the turning controller by the turning input shaft 72.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】走行機体1を支持する左右の走行部2に動力伝達する直進走行用変速装置25と,前記走行部に動力を逆回転伝達する旋回走行用変速装置28と,前記直進走行用変速装置に対する変速用操作具13と,前記旋回走行用変速装置に対する旋回用操作具10を備えて成る走行車両において,その直進及び旋回走行の操作性を簡単で小型の機構にて向上する。【解決手段】前記旋回用操作具にて回転する旋回入力軸72に,変速制御体81を前記旋回入力軸に直交する変速軸線Xの回りに回転自在に設けるとともに,旋回制御体82を前記旋回入力軸の軸線及び前記変速軸線Xに直交する旋回軸線Yの回りに回転自在設け,これらの両方を,前記変速用操作具に連動してその各々における軸線の回りに傾き回転し,前記変速制御体の傾き回転にて前記直進走行用変速装置を変速作動し,前記旋回制御体の前記旋回入力軸による回転にて前記旋回走行用変速装置を変速作動する。【選択図】図5
