Abstract
A device for connection to an input device actuated by a user comprises: a driving member for connection to the input device; a follower member; wherein motion of the driving member is only transmitted to the follower member after the driving member has been moved by a certain amount; and wherein means are provided to transmit a force back to the user as the driving member is moved in one direction.
Claims10
A device for connection to an input device actuated by a user, comprising:
- a movable driving member for connection to the input device;
- and
- a movable follower member;
- wherein said moveable driving member and said moveable follower member are arranged to rotate, and rotation of the driving member is only transmitted to the moveable follower member after the moveable driving member has been rotated by a certain amount;
- wherein the connection between the moveable driving member and the input device is arranged to transmit a force back to the user as the movable driving member is moved such that there is a spike in force transmitted back to the user after the movable driving member has been moved by a certain rotation away from an original position, with the spike in force including an increase in the force transmitted back to the user followed by a decrease in force as the rotation of the moveable driving member continues, and wherein there is no such spike in force when the device is rotated by the user back to the original position.
