Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A control device comprising:
a mount;
a first handle rotatably coupled with the mount, the first handle having an operator-engagement region with a portion to engage an operator's palm; and
a first input locus about which the first handle rotates on a rotational axis extending perpendicular to the portion of the first handle, the first input locus positioned within the operator-engagement region, wherein rotation of the handle about the first input locus provides a first input;
the first handle coupled with the mount to prevent movement in response to a first force in a first force vector extending through the first input locus and to rotate in response to a second force in a second force vector offset from the first input locus;
a second handle rotatably coupled with the mount, the second handle having an operator-engagement region with a portion to engage an operator's palm;
a second input locus about which the second handle rotates on a rotational axis extending perpendicular to the portion of the second handle, the second input locus positioned within the operator-engagement region, wherein rotation of the handle about the second input locus provides a second input,
the second handle coupled with the mount to prevent movement in response to a third force in a third force vector extending through the second input locus and to rotate in response to a fourth force in a fourth force vector offset from the second input locus,
the control device comprising a first adjustment mechanism with a first arcuate slot to adjust a first neutral rotational position of the first handle at the first input locus and a second adjustment mechanism with a second arcuate slot to adjust a second neutral rotational position of the second handle at the second input locus.
