Reset controller with improved input mechanism

A pneumatic controller for providing a pneumatic control signal, said controller comprising a pneumatic control signal bleed nozzle, a flapper associated with said nozzle, means for applying a force tending to move said flapper in one direction relative to said nozzle, a bias member for applying a force tending to move said flapper in the opposite direction relative to said nozzle, said pneumatic control signal varying as a function of the position of said flapper, and mechanism for producing a force to alter the force applied by said bias member to said flapper, said mechanism comprising a pivoted lever for altering the force applied by said bias member to said flapper as said lever is swung back and forth, said mechanism further comprising first and second actuators for producing first and second forces as functions of first and second variable signals, respectively, the improvement in said pneumatic controller comprising, means for receiving said first and second forces and for causing said lever to be positioned with a force which varies as a function of the sum of the weighted values of said first and second forces, said force receiving means comprising a second lever extending transversely of and pivotally mounted on said one lever to turn about a predetermined axis relative to said one lever, said actuators acting on said second lever so as to cause said second lever to pivot in one direction when said first force increases and to pivot in the opposite direction when said second force increases.
