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.
