ABSTRACT:
In the mounting of a control lever utilized to manipulate a machine or implements of a machine, complex designs are often required to provide lever positioning stops and operational detents. The mounting apparatus of the present invention provides a control lever that is mounted within a housing by a plurality of non-metallic bearing members. At least one side portion of the bearing member bears against the control lever. Integrally formed in this side portion is a mounting apparatus for maintaining the position of the control handle in a preselected position. In addition, a recess is integrally formed in the bearing member for resisting the movement of the control lever and indicates when the control lever is approaching a point at which a functional change in the implement, controlled by the control lever, is about to occur.
