A lever latching system comprising: a housing; a lever having a latch pin fixedly mounted to the lever, the lever being movably mounted to the housing so that the latch pin moves in an arc; and a latch plate movably mounted to the housing for linear movement with respect to the housing, the latch plate comprising a labyrinth for receiving the latch pin.

A cruise control system for work machines. The system comprises one or more levers for controlling the velocity of the work machine and one or more magnet assemblies. The magnet assemblies comprise means of overcoming the neutral bias of a control lever so that the velocity of the work machine may be maintained without manual input from the operator. The magnets may act directly upon a control lever or a surface adjacent a control lever. Additional controls may be employed to set a maximum cruising speed for the work machine when cruise control is engaged.

A cooking appliance or knob assembly may include a surface panel, a knob switch, a support plate, a control body, a central projection, and a spacing stake. The knob switch may be disposed behind the surface panel. The knob switch may include an internal spring and a slidable stem extending through a central axis. The slidable stem may be in forward-biased mechanical communication with the internal spring. The support plate may be rotabably mounted about the slidable stem. The control body may be mounted to the slidable stem. The control body may be rotationally fixed to the support plate and slidable relative thereto. The control body may include a primary grip extending about at least a portion of the slidable stem. The central projection may be disposed radially inward from the primary grip and define an axially fixed stop surface disposed forward from the control body.

A rotary knob that rotates in a pushed state includes an extending portion extending in a rotation direction of the rotary knob, and the extending portion includes a cutout portion cut out so as to prevent a first switch that detects that the rotary knob is pushed in from being pressed in a case where the rotary knob is in an intermediate range in which the rotary knob is in a pushed state.

An example system includes a throttle control for managing power in a hybrid propulsion system that includes an electrical propulsion unit configured to operate using electrical energy sourced from an electrical energy storage system (ESS) and/or one or more electrical generators, the throttle control comprising: a control lever movable through a plurality of positions, the plurality of positions including: a regeneration position; an off position; a maximum electric only position; a maximum continuous dual source position; and a maximum non-continuous dual source position.

A control panel, a self-propelled switch apparatus, and a power device (13). The control panel comprises a pushing rod (1) connected to a machine body and a panel assembly (2) reciprocatingly sliding on the pushing rod. The control panel further comprises locking assembly (41, 42) connected to the panel assembly. The locking assembly (41, 42) are adapted to lock the panel assembly on the pushing rod and unlock the control panel and the pushing rod. The control panel further comprises a self-propelled switch (134), and when the self-propelled switch (134) is triggered, a device in which the control panel is disposed can be switched from a manual-power driving mode to a self-propelled driving mode. By means of the solution, a garden tool can walk in a self-propelled manner, and can also be pushed to walk.

The present invention relates to a console box for an excavator to prevent malfunction and to be automatically moved to a designated position.

A system for inhibiting and providing access to appliance control knobs includes a support structure for mounting individual control knobs or groups thereof, and an actuator assembly for extending and retracting control knobs either individually or collectively.

Provided is an operating device comprising: an operation part which is inserted into an insertion hole portion of a glass part and has a locking protrusion portion having a protruding shape on the side surface thereof; and a locking rotation part which is disposed in a position opposite to the side surface of the operation part so as to allow or lock the movement of the locking protrusion portion, the locking rotation part comprising: a frame part having an inner hole portion into which the operation part is inserted; and a hollow hole part rotatably disposed in the frame part and communicating with the inner hole portion.

The invention relates to a force application device for a control stick of an aircraft, said stick comprising a control lever that is connected to a motor comprising a drive shaft, said device having: a first pin connected to the drive shaft, a housing, a second pin secured to the housing, an electromagnet secured in relation to the housing, a movable actuator which comprises a magnetic material such that said actuator can be displaced depending on a supply of current of the electromagnet, and means for clamping the first pin and the second pin which comprise a first tooth and a second tooth, said device having an operating configuration in which the electromagnet is active and the actuator separates the teeth away from the first pin and the second pin, and a blocking configuration in which the electromagnet is inactive, with the first tooth and the second tooth coming into contact with the first pin and the second pin.
