First Claim
Patent Images
1. A switch joystick, comprising:
- (a) a lever pivotal along at least one direction;
(b) a first switch coupled to said lever and actuated in response to deflection of said lever by a selectable amount from a neutral position along said at least one direction; and
(c) means for adjusting the selectable amount of lever deflection in said at least one direction necessary to actuate said first switch.

4. A switch joystick, comprising:
-
(a) lever means movable in at least one dimension; (b) switch means for switching an electrical signal on an output terminal on and off; (c) switch coupling means for coupling said switch means to said lever means such that in response to movement of said lever means by a selected amount said switch means turns on and off said electrical signal; and (d) adjustment means for changing said switch coupling means so the selected amount of movement of said lever means to switch said switch means changes. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A switch joystick, comprising:
-
(a) lever means for generating movement in any direction in a two dimensional plane from a neutral point; (b) a pair of frame elements coupled to said lever means and each moveable in one of two orthogonal directions in response to movement of said lever means; (c) switch means coupled to each of said frame elements and actuated in response to movement of each of said frame elements by a preselected amount; and (d) switch point adjustment means for adjusting the amount of movement of said lever means from the neutral point required to actuate said switch means. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
