Manual control device for controlling acceleration, braking, and the like

摘要

A manual control device for transmitting manual control signals of an operator including a plurality of interconnected lever elements, an elastically deformable bearing element, and a potentiometer element to facilitate manual control of a vehicle by persons with disabilities where each lever is swingably mounted on the elastically deformable element so that swinging one lever element from a rest position to a control transmission position swings the adjacent lever elements and causes deformation of the elastically deformable bearing element which in turn acts on the potentiometer before returning to the rest position.
