Abstract
A control mechanism for controlling the operation of both the clutch and throttle of an engine by a single main lever, which comprises a lever means, a clutch operating means having a clutch member and a sliding member; a throttle operating means having a throttle member and a sliding member; a standing means having a standing clutch guide means, along which the sliding member of the clutch operating means slides, and a standing throttle guide means, along which the sliding member of the throttle operating means slides; and a rotatable means having a rotatable clutch guide means, along which the sliding member of the clutch operating means slides, and a rotatable throttle guide means, along which the throttle operating means slides. The control mechanism assures that the throttle is held out of operation until the clutch is completely shifted, while the clutch is held in the shifted position during the operation of the throttle, and has particular relevance to controlling the operation of both the throttle and clutch in an engine of comparatively small power such as engine for motorboat from the viewpoint that it is quite economical in manufacturing and quite reliable owing to the simple construction comprising trouble-free parts.
