A control device includes a mechanical seal which guides a rotation of a control lever relative to a frame about two pivot connections of orthogonal axes. The mechanical seal includes, for one or both of the pivot connections, a device that returns a movable part into a neutral position relative to a stationary part. The return device includes one or more elastic members including two branches each extending orthogonally to an axis of the pivot connection from a finger of one of the movable and stationary parts as far as a free end. Each elastic member prevents the free ends from moving towards one another. The elastic member is inserted, in a transverse direction orthogonal to a bisector of an angle between the two branches, between a stationary pin which is secured to the stationary part and a movable pin which is secured to the movable part.
A control device including a frame a control lever and a mechanical seal guiding the control lever in rotation relative to the frame about two pivot connections with orthogonal axes, the mechanical seal comprising, for each of said pivot connections, a part that is stationary relative to the axis of the pivot connection and a part that is jointly movable with the control lever around the axis, of the pivot connection relative to the stationary part the mechanical seal also comprising, for at least one of the pivot connections a device for returning the movable part into a predetermined position, called the neutral position, relative to the stationary part
The control device according to claim wherein a first distance between the first movable pin and the finger is strictly less than or equal to a second distance between the second movable pin and the finger.
