Abstract:
A control implement mounting system for mounting a control implement with respect to an operator station, comprising:a first fixed support member; a manipulation member having an operator control implement mounted thereon; and means mounting said manipulation member upon said fixed support member such that when said manipulation member is moved in a first mode between first and second positions with respect to said fixed support member, said manipulation member, having said operator control implement mounted thereon, can be moved between first and second positions in both second and third modes with respect to said fixed support member such that said operator control implement can be positionally adjusted with respect to an operator station so as to adjustably position said operator control implement with respect to the operator station and thereby optimally position said operator control implement with respect to an operator disposed at the operator station whereby said operator control implement is readily accessible to the operator at the operator station regardless of the size and stature of the operator.
