Abstract
The present invention relates to an operating device with a control lever ( ) and an operating console ( ), and provided with two pivot axes about which the lever can be alternately pivoted relative to the operating console, for adjustment between a number of operating positions. The operating positions of the control lever about said pivot axes are intended for transmission into a corresponding operating condition of a device to be operated. Said pivot axes are created by four support members ( ) for the control lever ( ) in the operating console, in pairs defining each one of the pivot axes for the control lever. The support members are biased towards their respective paths ( ) defined in the operating device, in which paths the support members, alternately and in pairs, are blocked and operable, respectively, to allow control movement of the lever.
