Abstract: Control device includes a control lever and a control bracket provided with a first pivotable hinge by which the lever is pivotally arranged in relation to the control bracket for displacement between a plurality of control positions. The control positions of the control lever about the pivotable hinge are converted into corresponding operating conditions of a device which is intended to be operated. In this regard, the control lever is adjustable to assume a second control movement. The control lever is caused to perform its control movement by pivoting of the lever with a second pivotable hinge operating as a pivot center. The control device includes a locking device which, during adjustment to the second control movement, locks the pivoting motion of the control lever about its first pivotable hinge. In this manner, the pivot center can be relocated to the second pivotable hinge.

Abstract: Shifting arrangement for a gearbox, having a shifter lever, a shifter bracket in which the lever is pivotally attached for movement between a number of shifting positions, and a releasable shifter latch for releasable blocking of the lever against an unintentional movement to certain shifting positions, whereby the shifter latch presents a first latch portion belonging to the lever and a second latch portion belonging to the bracket. The bracket is formed as two separate bracket portions of which one portion supports said latch portion belonging to the bracket and further defines the pivot axis of the shifter lever and has at least one attachment means for attaching the bracket portion to a base in a determined position, and the other bracket has a pivot bracket through which the shifter lever is pivotally attached to the base in a determined position relative to the first bracket portion.

Abstract: A control lever which is both mechanically connected to a mechanism which is to be manoeuvred in at least two directions and electrically connected via switches (15) to electrical positioning means. The control lever comprises a knob (10) supported at its one end, which knob is movable in different directions radially with respect to the lever's longitudinal axis (22) and is provided with a cavity into which the lever (11a) projects and with a peripheral surface (12) with a space to the outer surface of the lever. The space on the one hand presents at least one movable, ring-shaped electrical contact element as part of the switch, said element being connected with the knob and arranged to accompany this in its radial movements, and on the other hand also presenting an elastic, ring-shaped centring element (14) which lies with its one periphery against said peripheral surface of the cavity and with its other periphery against the lever.

Abstract: A liquid level indicator comprising a rod (10) of insulating material. The rod is a carrier for two parallel helically wound resistance wires (12, 13) and is surrounded by a float (11) of insulating material displaceable along the rod (10) by variations in the liquid level. The resistance wires are connected to electrically conducting contact by means of a contact element (14) arranged on the float (11) with resilient contact plates arranged on each side of the rod for respective resistance wires. In this manner a circuit through the wires (12, 13) and the contact element is achieved whose resistance varies depending on the position of the float (11) along the rod (10). In order to improve the float's ability to follow variations in the liquid level, the contact element (14) is pivotably carried on the float (11) so that the contact element can pivot somewhat about an axis which normally is directed transversely to the longitudinal direction of the rod (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filtering fuel collector arranged inside a fuel tank to provide a running reserve fuel supply for a combustion engine when subjected to considerable g forces or while inclined. A running fuel reserve is obtained by making the fuel collector out of a porous, dimensionally stable material capable of supplying the collector with fuel when the engine is running.
