ABSTRACT:
A device for individually controlling multiple control functions with one hand comprises a base member movable back and forth and a stick member mounted on the base member to move back and forth with it and swing relative to it. The base member has one portion shaped like a pistol butt, with opposite upright front and rear surfaces and a top surface, and has another column-like upright portion, spaced in front of said front surface, defining an outer side surface. In one gripping position, a hand has its palm against said rear surface, thumb and forefingers overlying the top surface, and other fingers either curled around the butt portion to actuate pushbuttons or the like on its front surface or extended for actuating pushbuttons or the like on said outer side surface. In a second gripping position, for swinging the stick member, the hand has its lower edge on said top surface, and fingers are either curled around the stick member or are extended to actuate pushbuttons on an upward extension of the column-like portion.
