Abstract: 120,495. Kelso, J. C. Feb. 6, 1918. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for. - A controller is given a step-by-step motion by means of a catch pivoted on the operating arm and engaging with recesses in a fixed ring; the disengagement is effected by a press device separate and distinct from the catch. The catch b is carried by a pivot e in a recess in the arm a, and is held by the spring f in engagement with notches c<2> in the downwardly-turned flange of the plate d attached to the controller cover. The arm also carries a plunger k held in its upper position by a spring l which can be depressed by a push-pin i in the handle g. When the handle is moved forward, the catch b is pulled into one of the notches c<2>. The push-pin i is then depressed to cause the plunger g to enter one of the elongated holes c<1> and press down the catch. The handle can then be moved again until the catch passes beyond the notch and engages the rim of the plate. The push-pin is then released and the spring l raises the plunger g above the plate so that the handle can be moved one step forward. The recesses c<2> may be shaped to permit a quick return motion or to a give a step-by-step motion during forward and backward movement.
