CONTROL VALVE LINKAGE

摘要

A control valve linkage arrangement which is closely adjacent a vehicle operator and which allows easy access to a compartment upon which the operator sits. A control linkage (12) is disclosed wherein positioning of the member (30) to be controlled determines a control signal. The linkage (12) is connected to the valve control member (30) and may be pivoted relative to the valve control member (30) along a plane generally containing the valve control member (30) without axial movement of the said member (30). The linkage (12) can also be moved axially thereby moving the control member (30) axially without pivoting the linkage (12) relative to the control member (30).
