  • Power assist handle
    Patent number: 4829844
    Abstract: A power assist handle for providing control signals to a servo mechanism includes a spring-guided means of allowing motion of an input handle in only two directions in a configuration which has almost no friction between stationary and moving parts. Motion is sensed by a pair of Hall-effect sensors, each of which provides a signal output proportional to the displacement of the input handle in a respective orthogonal direction. The sensors and associated permanent magnets are arranged so that each is sensitive in one of the two directions and insensitive in the other.
