Abstract:
A single lever control assembly adapted for controlling a machine, said assembly comprising;a lever, a first U-shaped member having a base supporting said lever and parallel legs extending along spaced longitudinal axes from said base to respective distal ends; a second U-shaped member having a base and parallel legs extending along spaced longitudinal axes from said base to respective distal ends; a pivot block interconnecting said parallel legs for allowing said U-shaped members to rotate relative to one another about transverse first and second axes for allowing said parallel legs of said first U-shaped member to rotate about said first axis between said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member and for allowing said parallel legs of said first U-shaped member to rotate about said second axis with said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member therebetween; a first of said parallel legs of said first U-shaped member having a projection engaging one of said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member to limit rotation of said lever about said second axis; and a first of said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member having a projection engaging one of said legs of said U-shaped member to limit rotation of said lever about said first axis.
