Abstract
A remote control assembly ( ) for controlling a valve or similar equipment is provided which includes a case ( ) having an internal, pivotal lever ( ) presenting first and second alternately usable spaced apart lever couplers ( ), together with a shiftable output rod ( ) selectively and alternately connectable with one or the other of the lever couplers ( ). A control handle ( ) is operatively coupled with the lever ( ) and extends out of the case ( ), with the handle ( ) being movable in order to pivot the lever ( ) about an axis ( ) to thereby shift the output rod ( ). The control handle ( ) is located in a first rest position when one lever coupler ( ) is employed, and a second, different rest position when the other lever coupler ( ) is used. The case ( ) is made up of case halves ( ) each differently configured to have differently located rest position stops ( and ) thereon, so that the assembly ( ) may be assembled or field-modified with the handle ( ) assuming different rest positions and/or handle locked positions, without the need for different or additional component parts.
