Abstract: A hand lever device is disclosed which is adapted so that a throttle valve as a driven member can be adjusted appropriately in its degree of opening via a cable and kept at a desired degree of opening and yet immediately returned to the minimum degree of opening to ensure high safety. Thus, fatigue of an operator's fingers can be diminished. Also, the throttle valve is enabled to be brought to the degree of opening at which it had stood before it was returned to the minimum degree of opening without the necessity of readjustment. The hand lever device comprises an eccentric cam shaft (40) including a supporting shaft portion (42) and a pivot pin portion (41, 43) having pivotal axis (0b) eccentric to axis (0a) of the supporting shaft portion (42), a main lever (30) pivotally fitted on the supporting shaft portion (42), and a sub-lever (50) fixed to the pivot pin portion (41). The main lever (30) and sub-lever (50) are pivotally operated to draw a cable (20) connected to a driven member (CV).

Abstract: A hand lever device is disclosed for adjusting the degree of openness of a throttle valve via a cable and kept at a desired opening degree and yet immediately returned to a minimum degree of opening to ensure high safety, thereby diminishing fatigue of fingers, and ensuring a desired level of operation. The hand lever device comprises a main lever (3) and a sub-lever (50) is attached to a wind-up tractive member (60) which draws a cable (20) connected to a driven member (CV) in such a manner that one end portion of the cable (20) is wound up thereon, and a torsion coil spring (40) is used as a brake operated by the main lever (30) for braking the wind-up tractive member (60) in order to hold the sub-lever (50) immobilized at any pivotally operated position.
