Abstract
A mechanism for mounting a control device on an implement shield defining a shield plane, the control device having a body formed with slots, the mechanism comprising: the shield having a guide with guidance projections slidably interengageable with the slots on the body of the control device, the guidance projections and slots being connectable to one another by relative movement parallel to the shield plane; the shield having at least one positioning stop forming an abutment against the connecting movement; and, the shield having at least one stop spring for resiliently urging the body against the at least one positioning stop after the connecting movement, whereby the control device is securely positioned on the shield. When the control device is to be mounted in a cutout in the shield, the guidance projections, the at least one positioning stop and the at least one stop spring are shaped from material of the shield bounding the cutout. The guidance projections are preferably straps of L-shaped cross-section, projecting firstly from the shield towards the interior of the implement and then toward one another, engaging in the slots in the body of the control device. In an alternative embodiment, the mechanism may further comprise a sheet metal plate covering the front surface of the body, having bent edges for engaging in the slots in the body, having threaded or plug-receiving retainers and having a securing slot for the setting shaft of the control device.
