Abstract:
A gimbal support that senses rotational displacement and provides haptic feedback in one, two or three dimensions of a manually-operated control member used to generate control inputs using a single hand while also limiting cross-coupling.

Claim (Index 25):
A gimbal support for pivoting of control member about each of a first and second axes of rotation that intersect and are orthogonal, the gimbal comprising:\n a base for mounting the gimbal support; a post to which a control member may be coupled, the post having central axis intersection the first and second axes; a first gimbal that supports the post for rotation about the first axis but not the second axis of rotation; a second gimbal rotatable about the second axis that is fixed with respect to the base, the first gimbal mounted within the second gimbal for rotation about the second axis; a cap extending from the post and at least partially around the second gimbal; one of the cap and the gimbal supporting a detent and the other of the cap and the gimbal defining spherical surface, the spherical surface and detent spaced apart to depress the detent against a biasing force to a retracted position as the post pivots, the spherical surface having at least one dimple into which the detent extends when aligned, the detent and the dimple being aligned when the post is an in null position with respect to its rotation about one of the two axes of rotation.
