B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a 3-dimensional output by attaching the 3rd converter on the extended line of an operating shaft. CONSTITUTION:When an operating shaft 2 of a joy stick is operated, the front- back and right-left shift components are converted into electric signals by an angle converter 7 and another angle converter set rectangularly to the converter 7 via a spherical matter 3. Thus the 2-dimensional control is possible as desired. When the shaft 2 is pulled up, a washer 22 has a contact with the lower surface side of the matter 3. At the same time, the ball of the matter 3 is pressed and set into the groove of a concave ring. As a result, the shaft 2 can be turned freely and at the same time the clutches consisting of the gear matters formed by screws 41 and 42 are connected with each other. Under such constitutions, the shaft 2 is turned and the 3rd angle converter 32 set on the extended line of the shaft 2 works in response to the rotation of the shaft 2. Then a desired 3-dimensional output if obtained.
