System for definable single lever control shift pattern joint

A single lever control assembly adapted for controlling a machine, said assembly comprising;

• a lever,
• a first U-shaped member having a base supporting said lever and parallel legs extending along spaced longitudinal axes from said base to respective distal ends;
• a second U-shaped member having a base and parallel legs extending along spaced longitudinal axes from said base to respective distal ends;
• a pivot block interconnecting said parallel legs for allowing said U-shaped members to rotate relative to one another about transverse first and second axes for allowing said parallel legs of said first U-shaped member to rotate about said first axis between said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member and for allowing said parallel legs of said first U-shaped member to rotate about said second axis with said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member therebetween;
• a first of said parallel legs of said first U-shaped member having a projection engaging one of said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member to limit rotation of said lever about said second axis;
• and a first of said parallel legs of said second U-shaped member having a projection engaging one of said legs of said U-shaped member to limit rotation of said lever about said first axis.
