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 22):
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 collar surrounding and in a fixed relationship with the central axis, the collar having an outermost circumference lying within a plane that is normal to the central axis; a yoke surrounding the post and mounted for translational displacement along a third axis that intersects the first and second axis that remains fixed relative the base, the yoke having a contact surface that remains normal to the third axis when the yoke is displaced along the third axis; wherein yoke and collar are biased toward each other by a biasing force; and wherein pivoting of the post causes the collar to tilt with respect to the contact surface of the yoke and to displace the yoke against the biasing force.
