Abstract

Le groupe consiste en une commande manuelle pour effectuer à l'aide d'un seul levier aussi bien les mouvements linéaires à action graduelle que la rotation, en plus d'un mouvement accessoire à laide d'un poussoir, d'une figure sur l'écran d'un kinescope, avec les mouvements linéaires du levier ralentis par des amortisseurs oléodynamiques à double effet qui, en limitant la vitesse, déterminent une proportionnalité entre l'effort appliqué au levier et la vitesse de la figure sur l'écran, en engageant physiquement celui qui opère. Le dispositif comprend en combinaison un levier pivotant sur son propre axe et sur le premier élément d'un joint à cardan; ce joint à cardan permet au levier des oscillations en tous sens, dont l'ampleur est délimitée par un profil fixe à l'intérieur duquel se déplace l'axe. The group consists of a manual control for perform with one lever both movements linear with gradual action as rotation, in more than one accessory movement using a pusher, a figure on the screen of a kinescope, with the linear movements of the lever slowed down by oleodynamic shock absorbers double effect which, by limiting the speed, determines a proportionality between the force applied to the lever and the speed of the figure on the screen, physically engaging the one who operates. The device comprises in combination a lever pivoting on its own axis and on the first element of a universal joint; this universal joint allows the lever to oscillations in all directions, the magnitude of which is delimited by a fixed profile inside which the axis moves.

Dans ce joint à cardan et dans les deux mouvements orthogonaux sont appliqués des amortisseurs oléodynami­ ques avec, en parallèle, des systèmes inductifs qui comman­ dent l'électronique pour le déplacement de la figure. UNe roue dentelée emboítée sur l'axe du levier actionne un interrupteur pour la rotation de la figure. Au centre du levier et en relief se trouve un pommeau à pression pour la commande d'une mise en mouvement accessoire. In this universal joint and in the two movements orthogonal are applied oleodynamic shock absorbers with, in parallel, inductive systems which control dent the electronics for moving the figure. A toothed wheel fitted on the lever axis activates a switch for rotation of the figure. In the center of the lever and in relief there is a pressure knob for the control of an accessory movement.
