Abstract
A controller device for a wheeled construction machine has a variable speed lever for electrically controlling steps of speed of a transmission disposed near a steering wheel. It comprises a combination switch box disposed at the top of a steering column, a variable speed lever of a length enough for the leading end thereof to protrude slightly from the periphery of the steering wheel disposed on the left side of the combination switch box in such a manner as to approximate the steering wheel, and a control lever for turning on and off various lamps disposed protrudingly on the right side of the combination switch box. At least either of the variable speed lever and the control lever is attached to the combination switch box.
Claims3
A controller device for a wheeled construction machine, comprising a combination switch box disposed adjacent the top of a steering column, a variable speed lever for electrically controlling the speed steps of a transmission disposed on the left side of said combination switch box, said variable speed lever being of a length so that the leading end thereof protrudes from the periphery of said steering wheel, a control lever for turning on and off various lamps disposed on the right side of said combination switch box, and at least one of said variable speed lever and said control lever being attached to said combination switch box, said left side of said switch box further including a second lever for selection of speed, said variable speed and second levers being separated from each other by a short distance and being supported inside said combination switch box through the medium of pivots so as to be separated from the steering wheel by distances in the range of about 30 mm to about 100 mm.
