  • Operator interface for mobile carriage
    Patent number: 6260936
    Abstract: An attractive single-piece operator interface for high density mobile storage conveys an intuitive meaning to operators.

The buttons are in operative association with respective switches in a control assembly on the inside of the mobile carriage panel. A base on the control assembly limits pivoting of the buttons. The operator interface is made of ABS plastic material. The buttons are preferably shaped to indicate the directions of mobile carriage travel.
