  • Patent number: 3987986
    Abstract: A connecting bar is provided for extending between the combined rudder and wheel brake controlling pedals of an aircraft and includes a centrally disposed rearwardly and upwardly inclined control arm or handle portion. The opposite ends of the bar are connected to the associated combined rudder and wheel brake controlling pedals in a manner enabling lateral deflection of the upper end of the control arm or handle portion to actuate the rudder controlling movement of the corresponding pedal, upward displacement of the control arm or handle portion to effect wheel brake application movement of both rudder pedals, and simultaneous upward and lateral deflection of the control arm or handle portion to effect rudder actuation and wheel brake application movement of the corresponding rudder pedal.

  • Patent number: 3955438
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an auxiliary handle adapted to be removably attached to a rotatable part of an outboard motor steering handle for rotation of the steering handle part to control outboard motor engine operation and for lateral swinging movement of the steering handle to control outboard motor steering operation. The auxiliary handle comprises an attachment section adapted to be removably fixedly connected to the steering handle part for common rotation and lateral movement, together with an extension section, and a linkage connecting the extension section to the attachment section for effecting common rotary movement of the attachment section in response to rotation of the extension section, for effecting common lateral movement of the attachment section in response to lateral movement of the extension section, and for permitting movement of the extension section relative to the attachment section in response to application to the extension section of a force above a predetermined amount.

  • Patent number: 3949817
    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for extending the reach of a portable chain saw for the purpose of cutting tree limbs and branches which would otherwise be inaccessable to the operator of the saw. An elongated post which can be held in the hands is equipped with means for securing a chain saw thereto at the front end. A pivotable lever is also attached to the front end of the post for contacting and depressing the power trigger on the chain saw. A finger operated control trigger is located at the rear end of the post, and means are provided for connecting the pivotable lever and the control trigger so that the lever is pivoted and the power trigger of the saw is thus depressed by the lever when the control trigger is operated.
