Hand operated control for vehicle

摘要

A hand control for a vehicle, e.g. a twist grip throttle, has a holding facility operated by an electromagnet (18) which holds the control with a force slightly greater than the force of the return spring. This enables the driver to adjust the control setting without releasing the holding setting.- DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The electromagnet is released when the brakes are applied, using a release switch connected into the brake light circuit. For a twist throttle control the electromagnet is attached to the throttle control and is positioned inside the handgrip tube (12).It forms a magnetic circuit with the ferromagnetic handgrip tube. The holding setting is indicated by a control light
