Cable operated control mechanism comprising an elastically deformable cable control assist member

A cable (4)-operated control mechanism used to operate a remote member and intended for a construction machine or the like, of the type of mechanism comprising a casing (3) housing a control member from which emerges the proximal end of said control member, forming a control stick (1) configured as a grip (2) to be grasped by the user in order to be maneuvered between an idle position (A1) and at least one working position (A2) in which said cable (4) acts against a resisting force exerted by said remote member to be operated, said control stick (1) being articulated to said casing (3) so that it is movable between said positions and being connected to an operating member for operating said cable (4) that is housed inside said casing (3) and to which said cable (4) is anchored, wherein the

• said control member is composed of at least two abutting segments articulated to each other, namely a proximal segment constituting said control stick (1) and a distal segment formed of an elastically deformable member that bears articulatedly against said casing (3) to constitute an assist member (5) for assisting the operation of said control stick (1), such that in idle position, said control stick (1) and said assist member (5) are disposed coaxially in prolongation of each other so as to place said assist member (5) under stress, and in that the changeover from said idle position to a working position is effected by tilting said control stick (1), which is then pushed at its base by said assist member (5).
