Abstract
An arrangement whereby the resisting force tending to oppose the shifting of a lever is roughly constant, irrespective of the direction in which the lever is shifted. For this purpose, the lever 1 is roughly freely rotatively mounted on its support 4 and an intermediate ring 7 is provided and frictionally mounted relative to the support, the lever 1 defining a cavity 18 which opens onto the outer surface of the ring 7 and in which is received an element 19 for achieving a coupling between the lever and the ring. The cavity defines a cam surface which is so oriented as to achieve a unidirectional coupling by a wedging of the coupling element between the lever and the ring.
