LATERAL CONTROL STICK Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: remote control systems of flying vehicles and ground transport facilities. SUBSTANCE: shaft of control stick is connected with case through hinge. Stick is locked in vertical and neutral positions by means of four pushers of loading mechanism located in horizontal plane above axis of rotation of stick. Four twin induction translation sensors are mounted in case in two mutually perpendicular planes concentrically relative to axis of shaft. Axes of these sensors are parallel to axis of stick in neutral position. Spring-loaded cores of sensors are connected with common pusher secured on shaft of stick through single-arm levers whose axles are secured on case. Points of contact of cores and pusher with levers, center of hinge and axes of levers are located in one horizontal plane with stick in neutral position. EFFECT: enhanced reliability and extended range of redundancy of sensors. 5 cl, 3 dwg
