Extensions may be associated with various configurations of lawn spreader handle, herein referred to by the letter they most resemble (e.g. a “T” handle may consist of a single extended strut with two grips extending perpendicularly from the end, while a “U” handle may be a closed loop) and generally limited to the configurations “T,” “U,” “M,” “X,” and “H.” The above referenced configurations may be installed alternatively to achieve extended handle control; extension may result from protracting the original equipment manufacturers' (OEM) handle (such as is the case with configuration “M”), or such extension may be achieved via connection to the OEM handle or other parts of the spreader (in cases where configurations “T,” “U,” “H,” or “X” are employed). | 03-05-2015 |

20160083078 | DEVICE FOR PREVENTING ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT OF FAILED SELECTOR LEVER - A selector lever with two detent plates and corresponding detent pins that travel along a shaft includes a float that moves with each of the detent pins. When a detent pin fails, a float pin remains engaged with a catch, thereby preventing rotational movement of the shaft. | 03-24-2016 |
20160107622 | MANUALLY OPERATED LEVER DEVICE FOR ACTUATING THE PARKING BRAKE OF A MOTOR-VEHICLE - A lever device for actuating the parking brake of a motor-vehicle includes a lever structure with a base portion tiltably mounted on a supporting bracket. The mounting includes a first transverse axis, a second transverse axis, a third transverse axis and a fourth transverse axis. When the lever structure is in its completely lowered position, the third and fourth transverse axes are each lower than that of the first and second transverse axes, respectively. In the lowered position, two theoretical planes containing the first and third transverse axes and the second and fourth transverse axes, respectively, intersect along a theoretical axis of instantaneous rotation of the lever structure, which is located above said first and second transverse axes. When the lever structure moves from its completely lowered position to its completely raised position, the lever arm and its end handgrip displace according to a substantially elliptical, and substantially vertically oriented, path, respectively, while the axis of instantaneous rotation of the lever structure moves downwards, following a substantially elliptical path. | 04-21-2016 |
20160124458 | STICK DEVICE AND RADIO CONTROL TRANSMITTER USING THE SAME - Inside a stick base, a variable resistor and a magnet brake are attached to a turnable first bridge. An A/D converter adapted to convert an analog value corresponding to a turning angle, which is obtained from the variable resistor, to a digital value, and a controller adapted to drive the magnet brake when a signal from the A/D converter is given and coincides with a predetermined value are provided. On the basis of data retained in a memory, current is applied to a coil of the magnet brake. Doing so makes it possible to electrically change operational feeling when turning a stick. | 05-05-2016 |
20160185324 | MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR OPERATION KNOB - Amounting structure for an operation knob includes: a lever shaft including at least one locking claw formed integrally with the lever shaft; and a knob to be mounted onto the lever shaft, the knob having an engagement hole to be brought into engagement with the locking claw. | 06-30-2016 |

20100011903 | JOYSTICK - A joystick for controlling the functions of machines and/or vehicles comprises an actuator which can be moved in different directions by means of a joint having preferably two degrees of freedom, wherein the back-and-forth motions of the actuator occurring in a first plane are subjected to an active force feedback in the form of an electromotor and a reduction gear, and the back-and-forth movement of the actuator which occurs in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane is subjected to a passive force feedback in the form of a sprung reset device. In order to make such a joystick which allows for a low-cost serial production, the invention proposes that the reduction gear is designed with low backlash and is connected on the output side to the actuator via a preferably leaf-spring assembly which connects a swing arm to a joint part. | 01-21-2010 |
20120006146 | COLLAPSIBLE CONTROL LEVER - A collapsible lever assembly for controlling a system is pivotable between a neutral position and an actuated position relative to a pivot base to control the system. The lever assembly is also moveable between the neutral position and a collapsed position. | 01-12-2012 |
20120096977 | Operation lever for steering apparatus - An operation lever includes a lever main body A having a tapered insertion portion which has locking portions and in which the size in the up-down direction decreases gradually and an operation knob having a tapered insertion hole in which a size in the up-down direction decreases gradually from an opening toward a deep end wall surface. The insertion hole includes tapered reference surface facing each other in the up-down direction. Grooves are formed from the opening and along the deep end wall surface so as to protrude outward from the respective tapered reference surfaces and the inner side surfaces in the insertion hole of the operation knob. The insertion portion is inserted into the insertion hole and the locking portions bite in outward through the respective tapered reference surfaces. | 04-26-2012 |
20120240718 | FOLDING HANDLE FOR LIFT AND SLIDE DOOR - An apparatus for use with a door adapted to lift and slide.
