Multi-functional foot controller with treadle for controlling a first function and as an integrated shroud for a switch that controls an additional function.

An operation device includes a lever configured to be tiltable; a substrate; a first resistor disposed on the substrate to extend in a first direction; a first actuator configured to rotate in accordance with tilting of the lever; and a first holder configured to hold a first slider and cause the first slider to slide on the first resistor by moving in the first direction via a first drive transmission part in accordance with rotation of the first actuator. The first drive transmission part includes a first protrusion integrated with the first holder and protruding in a second direction, and a first engagement portion integrated with the first actuator and including a pair of holding pieces configured to hold the first protrusion from both sides in the first direction. A first holding piece of the holding pieces is more elastic than a second holding piece of the holding pieces.

An operation device includes a lever operable to tilt and an actuator having an opening through which the lever is disposed and including a rotation shaft, the actuator being configured to rotate in accordance with the tilting of the lever, such that the rotation shaft of the actuator is rotatably supported within a shaft-receiving hole. The operation device includes a biasing unit configured to bias the lever upward. The lever includes a push-up portion configured to force a portion of the actuator upward in accordance with a biasing force from the biasing unit, the portion of the actuator being disposed around the opening of the actuator.

A control switch for operating, preferably in single-hand operation, a hoist or crane, having a device for manual actuation, preferably single-finger actuation, with a base element, which is preferably designed as a housing, and a control lever which can be pivoted relative to the base element and which can be pivoted by means of a pivot movement triggered by means of manual actuation, preferably single-finger actuation, from an unpivoted base position into an actuation position that is pivoted in relation to the base position, in order thereby to bring about a predefined movement of the hoist or crane.

A command device for controlling a mechanical energy reduction assembly of an aircraft, movable between an inactive configuration and a maximum mechanical energy reduction configuration, includes a rocker button, movable between a mechanical energy reduction assembly configuration maintaining position, a first position of incremental movement of the mechanical energy reduction assembly to its maximum mechanical energy reduction configuration and a second position of incremental movement of the mechanical energy reduction assembly to its inactive configuration. The command device further includes at least one return element configured to return the rocker button to its maintaining position.

A control system is for a high lift assembly of an aircraft. The assembly is controllable in two aerodynamic configurations each with different lift. The control system includes a manual control device operable by a pilot of the aircraft. The manual control device includes at least one member movable relative to a base body. The movable member can be moved relative to the base body between a rest position, a first position and a second distinct position. The manual control device includes a resilient return device for the movable member in the rest position. The manual control device issues a signal when the movable member reaches either the first or second position, to move the high lift assembly between two of the aerodynamic configurations.
