Claim 12:
13. The swivel assembly as in claim 11, wherein each of the first and second electro-optical sensors comprises a light source, a photodetector, and a light path between the light source and the photodetector,
wherein, when the pivot body is in the neutral position, the radially extending surface of the pivot body is configured to block the respective light path of each of the first electro-optical sensor and the second electro-optical sensor,
wherein the change of state in the first electro-optical sensor upon the pivot body pivoting a first threshold angular distance in the first direction from the neutral position comprises the first electro-optical sensor no longer detecting the radially extending surface blocking the light path of the first electro-optical sensor.
