Abstract
A hand control attachment apparatus, for attaching a hand control member to a steering wheel or the like. A web is extended from a housing of the hand control attachment apparatus. The web member cooperates with an outer surface of the housing so as to secure the hand control attachment apparatus onto the steering wheel or the like. A first end of the web member is secured in a slot of a rotatable bar member which is received in the housing. A second end of the web member loops around a rod which is removably received in the housing. The web member is wound onto the bar member by rotating the bar member so as to tightly secure the hand control attachment apparatus onto the steering wheel or the like. The apparatus is released from the steering wheel by releasing the web member and removing the rod out of the looped end of the web member and the housing. The hand control member is mounted on the housing of the hand control attachment apparatus by a spring member, so as to form a hand control device.
