  • the control mechanisms by cable, rod or the like of a remote body to maneuver, implement a control lever which is manipulable by an operator and which is connected via one or more cables to organs remote to maneuver.
  • the control is transmitted from the mobility of the joystick whose movements printed by the operator are transmitted to the cable, which in turn manipulates the remote body.
  • These mechanisms are particularly applied to civil engineering machinery or similar machinery, such as forestry or agricultural machinery.
  • the handle is more particularly articulated on a frame or a housing housing the mechanism, and has at its proximal end a gripping handle by the operator for its manipulation.
  • the cable or cables are anchored on the handle, so that a movement printed on the handle by the operator causes traction on a corresponding cable, which in turn manipulates the remote body.
  • the joystick is articulated in one or more directions on the housing, or omnidirectionally.
  • the controller is connected to different cables which are respectively assigned to each of the mobility directions of the joystick.
  • the document DE 196 21 023 C1 discloses a cable control mechanism according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a general problem posed lies in an organization of the cable control mechanisms with limited space to facilitate their integration into any site, without impairing their ability to control and / or securing their use.
  • the cable control mechanism can be integrated within the armrest of a seat, to improve the working conditions of the operator.
  • the advantage of such integration is to bring the mechanism of the operator's hand comfortably installed in the seat. It is common for this purpose to use electromechanical or electronic control mechanisms, whose small size is used to facilitate the integration of the control mechanism inside the armrest.

  • deformable means 108 are put under stress during the operation of the latch 107 in the locking position, under the effect of a gesture maintained by the operator on a monostable member 111.
  • a monostable member 111 When the operator stops the action he performs on the monostable member 111, the latter takes its stable rest position by spontaneously operating the latch 107 in the unlocked position, in which the handle 111 is released from its locking to the carrier structure 102.
  • the monostable member 111 is for example A steering wheel 112 as on the variant illustrated on the fig.11 to fig.14 , or an articulated flap 113 such as the variant illustrated on the fig.15 to fig.16 .
  • the monostable member 111 is connected to the latch 107 via mechanical connection means 114.
  • connecting means 114 are constituted by one or more connecting members which extend parallel or coaxially with the general axis A d. extension of the controller 111.
  • the connecting member consists of a shaft 115 which axially extends the flywheel 112.
  • the connecting members consist of rods 116 or the like connecting the latch 107 to the hinged flap 113.
  • the latch 107 is placed at the distal end of the handle 111, being housed inside the guide member 104 forming a cage for the other guide member 105.
  • This latch 107 is provided with securing means 117 for locking one to the other of the joystick 111 and the supporting structure 102, which are of the keying type.
  • the securing means 117 consist of keys 118,119 integrated in the latch 107 extending longitudinally at its periphery. These keys 118,119 cooperate with complementary notches 120,121 which are formed on the bearing structure 102, and more particularly with notches 120,121 respectively formed on one and the other of the guide members 104,105.
  • the latch 107 may have only one or more keys 118 or 119 cooperating with notches 120 or 121 provided on only one of the two guide members 104, 105 to secure the mechanism following at least one corresponding direction D1 or D2 of tilting of the joystick 111.
  • the latch 107 is shaped as a sleeve integral in rotation with the handle 111 and free sliding axially along the latter, to allow its operation between its locking position and its unlocking position. This junction is achieved by means of engagement 122, such as by pinning, broaching or the like on the exemplary embodiments illustrated.
  • the latch 107 is traversed by a pin which extends radially towards the handle 111, the latter having a longitudinal peripheral light, not visible in the figures, which allows its passage through the pin without impeding an axial sliding mobility of the latch 107.
  • the deformable means 108 consist of the torsion spring 109, which is engaged between the handle 111 and the monostable member 111 consisting of the flywheel 112, being housed in the barrel 115 that comprises the latter.
  • the connection means 114 between the latch 107 and the monostable member 111 consist of a pair of helical ramps 123 that includes the shaft 115 for guiding a radial finger 124 that includes the latch 107.
  • the flywheel 112 is in taken on the handle 103 by means of a lateral handle 131 that it comprises, so that the operator can naturally grasp the flywheel 112 and the handle 103 and cause their joint drive in rotation to place the latch 107 in the unlocked position.
  • the deformable means 108 consist of the compression spring 110, which is axially interposed in antagonistic supports between the handle 101 and the latch 107, being threaded around the handle 101.
  • the flap 113 is articulated on a connecting member 125 which is attached proximally to the handle 101 and which carries the handle 103, arranged in a knob.
  • the flap 113 is articulated as a lever on this connecting member 125, through the rods 116 constituting the connecting means 114 between the flap 113 and the latch 107.
  • the rods 116 each comprise a return 126 which are housed in longitudinal grooves 127 that includes the connecting member 125, and that together constitute a first axis of articulation of the flap 113 on the connecting member 125.
  • These returns 126 are in particular housed in corridors 128 of an arm of lever 129 of the flap 113, the latter being moreover articulated on the junction member 125 around a second hinge pin 130, so that a maneuvering of the flap 113 around the second axis of articulation 130 causes an axial displacement of the rods 116, and therefore the latch 107, between the locking position and unlocking.
  • the mechanism is completed by control means of the electromechanical, electropneumatic and / or electronic type, to multiply the number of orders offered.
