Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control lifting device with an approximately box-shaped support device for accommodating a control lever that is movable on all sides and with a first and second driver element that can be adjusted in at least two directions by means of the control lever.
  • control lever device with a on a supporting device universally movable control lever is known, the purpose can be operatively connected with hydraulic or electrical switches to trigger the movement of the control lever, a switching function to the hydraulic or electrical switch (US-A -4 1 61 726).
  • the object of the invention is to design and arrange the control lever device with the associated control lever in such a way that it can be connected in a simple manner to an actuating device in the supporting device in which the corresponding switching functions are to be carried out.
  • This object has been achieved in that a U-shaped fastening device, which is open at the bottom, is detachably connected to the bottom of the carrying device with its web part located above, two upright legs being firmly connected to the web part, which each serve to accommodate a toggle switch , which is arranged directly under the associated driver element, is adjustable from its neutral central position in at least two switching positions and is connected to the driver part via the upper end of an actuator.
  • each toggle switch pivots in a pivot axis which is coaxial with the axis of the driver part. Since the pivot axis of the toggle switch runs coaxially with the axis of the driver part, a space-saving arrangement of the driver parts and the actuators is obtained, since no further transmission elements between actuators and driver parts are necessary. It is advantageous that each actuator has approximately the shape of a hair clip, the upper end of which is a U-bracket that can be inserted into the driver part, the two legs forming the U-bracket being guided along the outside of the toggle switch and against these can be brought to the plant.
  • the legs of the actuator with respect to the toggle switch angled or offset, extending below the toggle switch end pieces which can be inserted into the holes provided in the leg of the fastening device.
  • the actuating member is formed from a resilient material, for example titanium, and, after deformation or adjustment of the actuating member or a part thereof, resumes its original position or shape by the driver part.
  • each leg of the fastening device has an inwardly extending part extending below the toggle switch, in which the bores are provided for receiving the two end pieces, and that in each leg for receiving the toggle switch an opening is provided. Since the end pieces of the actuators are offset inwards and occupy a position below the toggle switches, a space-saving arrangement is also obtained. At the same time, the actuators are prevented from moving in the horizontal direction.
  • an adjustment of the actuator is switched off in that the U-bracket of the actuator is received in the driver element.
  • one toggle switch is vertically offset from the other toggle switch and each toggle switch extends inwardly with respect to the outside of the leg of the fastener, the two toggle switches overlapping horizontally, and that the actuator has a central, after projecting outside, U-shaped part which surrounds the toggle switch, and that the upper horizontal leg of the U-shaped part is seated on the upper horizontal web part of the fastening device.
  • 10 denotes a control lever device in FIG. 1, which is oriented vertically and is received by a corresponding support device 12.
  • the control lever device 10 has a support element 14 with an upper part 16 and a bottom 18 and a control lever 20, which is equipped with an articulated ball 22 (see FIG. 3), in order to be able to move the control lever 20 in all directions that are associated with OW and NS (east-west and north-south) are given. Any other direction designation is also possible, since the control lever 20 equipped with a joint ball 22 can also be adjusted in any other direction, for example diagonally.
  • the control lever 20 has a lower end which extends below the joint ball 22 and projects into a bearing ring 24 which is provided in two slotted plates 26 and 28 is included.
  • the slots in the plates 26 and 28 are arranged at right angles to one another and the plates are guided accordingly so that they can be moved independently of one another, so that, for example, the position of the other plate is not influenced in the NS movement of one plate.
  • the lower plate 26 is guided at its outer edge or corner by means of a roller and a slot 30 and is movably connected at the diagonally opposite corner 32 to a link 34 to move a driver part 36 of the link 34 forward and about a vertically extending axis to be able to move backwards.
  • a spring 38 which acts between an abutment part and an actuating part which is operatively connected to the link 34, contributes to the plate 26 returning to its central position according to FIG. 2.
  • the control lever 20 is associated with two other driver parts 40 similar to the driver part 36.
  • the driver parts 40 are also arranged to be adjustable about a vertical axis on the support element 14.
  • Each driver part is equipped with a handlebar 42 which is connected diagonally opposite to the plate 26 at 44.
  • pivoting the control lever 20 in the NS direction causes the plate to be displaced in the SN direction and a limited rotation of the driver part 36 is carried out.
  • the driver part 40 is moved.
  • a diagonal pivoting of the control lever 20 causes an adjustment of both plates 26 and 28 and thus the associated driver parts 36 and 40.
  • a fastening device 48 is located below the control lever device 10. It consists of a U-shaped, downwardly open support element 50 with two opposite, vertically extending legs 52 and 54. The fastening device 48 below the control lever device 10 is rotated by 45 °.
  • the control lever device 10 and the fastening device 48 are of rectangular design, but the fastening elements or the driver parts 40 for receiving corresponding counterparts are arranged diagonally with respect to the corners.
  • the fastening device 48 is connected to the bottom 18 of the control lever device 10 by means of two screws 56 on vertically extending spacers.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 only a screw 56 and a spacer 58 are shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • the spacers 58 are identical to one another.
  • the leg 52 is provided with an upper and a lower, approximately rectangular opening 60, similar openings 62 being provided in the leg 54.
  • a toggle switch 64 is fastened to the leg 52 by means of screws 66.
  • the toggle switch 64 is received in the opening 60 for this purpose.
  • a similar toggle switch 68 is located in the opening 62 of the leg 54 and is secured there by means of screws 70.
  • the toggle switches 64 and 68 are arranged at a vertical distance from one another or overlap in such a way that there is no mutual interference when the toggle switches are actuated.
  • the toggle switches are electrical switches and generally known so that they are not further explained.
  • the two toggle switches 64 and 68 have two opposing pressure surfaces, the pivot axis of the toggle switch being coaxial with the corresponding axis of the driver parts 36 and 40, ie the pivot axis of the toggle switch 64 is coaxial with the axis of the driver part 40, while the pivot axis of the toggle switch 68 is coaxial with Driver part 36 runs.
  • the toggle switch 64 is referred to as the OW switch and the switch 68 as the LV switch. If the toggle switch 64 or 68 is in its central position, the switch is set to "off".
  • toggle switch 64 or 68 When the toggle switch 64 or 68 is actuated on one or the other side, it is placed, for example, in a forward or reverse position, while the other switch is designed in such a way that it has the corresponding switching function for right and left or fast and slow brings about.
  • the two toggle switches 64 and 68 can be adjusted accordingly by means of the control lever 20.
  • two actuators 72 and 74 which are identical to one another are provided. They perform separate but identical functions and are arranged in mirror image to one another.
  • the actuating member 72 is designed similar to a hair clip and has an upper bracket part 76 with two legs 78.
  • the lower part of the OW driver part 40 of the fastening device 48 has a rectangular base.
  • the actuating member 72 is operatively connected at its lower end to the rectangular part of the fastening device 48, so that a movement of the fastening device 48 is transmitted to the actuating member 72.
  • the legs 78 are bent outwards at a right angle at 80, so as to form a lever arm, so that the actuating member 72 has a U-shaped course and rests with its web part against the surface of the toggle switch 64.
  • the legs of the actuator 72 bent inwards again at right angles and run out into two vertically running end pieces 82, which are inserted into bores 84 provided in the rectangular part 86.
  • the rectangular part 86 is firmly connected to the wall or the leg 52 of the fastening device 48.
  • the actuator 72 is formed, for example, from spring steel or made from another similar material.
  • the actuating member 72 Since the lower end pieces 82 of the actuating member 72 extend into the bore 84 of the rectangular part 86, the actuating member 72 is also adjusted accordingly by rotation of the driver part 40, in order in this way to adjust the toggle switch 64 in one or the other direction or tilt to trigger a corresponding switching function. Furthermore, the legs of the actuating member 72 are received relatively firmly in the bores 84 of the driver part 40, the U-shaped part of the actuating member 72 arriving against the upper edge of the supporting element 50, in order to thereby prevent the actuating member 72 from being adjusted downward. The two end pieces 82 of the actuator 72, which are received in the bores 84, additionally secure the actuator.
  • the actuator 72 which has approximately the shape of a hair clip, is designed to be resilient, so that the toggle switch 64 or 68 is automatically reset to the neutral position by means of the actuator during an adjustment after the lever 20 has returned to its neutral position or central position . It is possible that the toggle switch 64 or 68 is equipped with appropriate spring elements to ensure a reset of the toggle switch.
  • the design and arrangement of the actuator 74 on the other side of the fastening device 48 is the same.
  • the upper leg or the bracket part 88 is received in the driver part 36 for an NS movement.
  • the bracket part is at a right angle to the outside curved leg 92 is provided, which is followed by a vertically extending leg which, similar to the actuator 72, ends in two end pieces 94 which are received in bores provided in a rectangular part 96 of the leg 54.
  • the two actuators 72 and 74 are identical in shape and function.
  • the fastening device 48 consists of the toggle switches 64 and 68 and the two actuators 72 and 74, which together form a structural unit and can also be easily connected to the control lever device 10 from below, the legs 78 and 88 are inserted into the corresponding driver parts 36 and 40. The two parts are then connected to one another by means of screw bolts 56, which for this purpose are screwed into the spacers 58, which protrude downward on the bottom 18 of the control lever device 10.
  • the diagonal arrangement of the two driver parts 36 and 40 and thus the displacement of the lower fastening device 48 with respect to the control lever device 10 also result from FIG. 2, from which it can be seen that the upper ends of the actuating members 72 and 74 lie on a diagonal, which extends through the opposite edges of the support element 50.
  • the diagonal arrangement of the two driver parts 36 and 40 allows the two toggle switches 64 and 68 to have the greatest possible free space within the compact arrangement of the fastening elements.
  • the two actuators 72 and 74 are relatively easy to manufacture and have a long service life.
