A remote controlled actuating device for operating either the accelerator pedal or brake pedal of an automobile includes a pair of slidable piston rods spaced so they can engage the pedals. The piston rods are disposed in corresponding cylinders connected to a support frame which includes a spring-loaded support member engaged with the automobile floorboard and biasing the support frame into engagement with the front seat of the automobile to hold the piston rods in alignment with the pedals. The piston rods are operated by a remote control system for selectively operating either piston rod to depress either pedal while concurrently retracting the other. A preferred use of the invention is for balancing the rear wheels of an automobile, where the mechanic adds weights to the rear wheel, remotely actuates the accelerator pedal to spin the wheel and test the balance of the wheel, and then remotely applies the brake to stop the wheel.

An electric window operating mechanism, for example for use on a road vehicle, comprises a worm and worm wheel speed reducer, the worm being connected to an electric drive motor, an operating axle of the mechanism extends through the worm wheel and a member is slideable along the axle by an auxiliary handle to de-clutch the speed reducer to enable the axle to be rotated and thus the window operated, by rotation of the handle in the event of breakdown of the electric drive, said member can be the worm wheel itself or can be separate therefrom.

The invention provides a dual station marine propulsion control system including means selectively operable to afford control of an engine throttle and/or clutch at one station while preventing the exercise of control from the other station and vice versa. Each throttle control station comprises a control lever movably mounted relative to a minimum throttle setting, a cam member movably mounted relative to a first position, and means movably mounted on the housing and coacting with said cam member and with cooperating means on the lever for preventing movement of the lever from the minimum throttle setting when the cam member is displaced from the first position and for preventing displacement of the cam member from the first position when the control lever is displaced from the minimum throttle position. Also disclosed herein is a frame operably connected to an engine throttle for actuation of the engine throttle in response to frame movement. The frame includes guide paths for first and second throttle slides which are respectively connectable to throttle control links or cables connected respectively to remote control stations so as to effect throttle slide movement in response to throttle control link movement. Also included are means on the frame and on the throttle slides for alternatively and selectively connecting one of the throttle slides to the frame for common movement of the frame with the one throttle slide and for permitting relative movement between the other of the throttle slides and the frame.

A CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INTERLOCKING EITHER OF TWO INPUT LEVERS TO AN OUTPUT MEMBER. THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT INVOLVES AN AIRCRAFT PILOT''S FORWARD AND REVERSE THRUST THROTTLE CONTROL LEVERS WHEREIN THE REVERSE THRUST LEVER IS PIVOTALLY CARRIED BY THE FORWARD THRUST LEVER. A ROTATABLE PAWL MEMBER IS USED TO DRIVINGLY INTERCONNECT THE OUTPUT MEMBER WITH THE FORWARD THRUST LEVER IN A FIRST ROTATABLE POSITION, AND TO DRIVINGLY INTERCONNECT THE REVERSE THRUST LEVER WITH THE OUTPUT MEMBER WHEN THE PAWL MEMBER IS IN A SECOND POSITION. POSITIONING OF THE PAWL MEMBER IS ACCOMPLISHED BY MOVEMENT OF THE REVERSE THRUST LEVER. THE INTERCONNECT PAWL IS SELF-LOCKING FOR LOAD TRANSFER IN EITHER DIRECTION DURING FORWARD THRUST OPERATION.

A safety mechanism includes an operating member movable between a normal position and an actuating position. The operating member has a camming surface and two latch recesses at its lower end and an actuator portion at its upper end. A pair of camming members, each having an inclined ramp surface and a nose portion, cooperate with the operating member. A manual control is connected to each camming member. Substantially simultaneous movement of both manual controls causes the ramp surfaces to impart a balanced camming action on the operating member to move the actuator portion to an actuating position. Should the movement of one inclined surface exceed the movement of the other surface by a predetermined amount, its movable portion and a corresponding recess will be latched, preventing movement of said actuator portion to the actuating position. A manually operable reset structure is provided to release the latched members.
