<p>A control mechanism (10) for operating a vehicle (14) has a housing assembly (56) mounted for swinging movement about an upstanding axis (30), and a brake actuating member (160) is mounted on the housing assembly for swinging movement about a second axis (166). A push-pull control rod assembly (42) is connected to the brake actuating member and depends within the housing assembly to move a brake control element (41) between brake-off and brake-on positions. A transmission actuating member (108) is mounted on the housing assembly and a coupling apparatus (123, 170, 174) is provided for urging the transmission actuating member to a neutral position when the brake actuating member (160) is moved to the brake-on position. This prevents inadvertent movement of the vehicle when the brake acutating member is subsequently placed in the brake-off position.</p> |
