Abstract
The subject of the present invention is an electric control or control-by-wire device comprising a control lever () that can be moved in a pivoting movement in a plane perpendicular to the lever in a position of rest, and that can be moved in a translational movement in a direction parallel to the lever in a position of rest, a rotary control member () that can be moved in a rotational movement and in a pivoting movement in a plane perpendicular to the lever in a position of rest, and an electrical circuit () for converting the various movements of the lever () and the rotary member () into control signals. The device comprises a lever base () that can move over a predefined travel parallel to the lever in a position of rest and which keeps the control lever fixed in terms of rotation and comprises a universal joint connection supporting the rotary control member in such a way as to connect it pivotally to the control lever ().
