ABSTRACT:
A multi-path interrupter device (e.g. joystick) includes a housing 10 constituted by two parts (11, 12), a plurality of interrupters 16 distributed along a circle and a control member 20. The control member is formed of a single piece of resilient material and has a lever pin 21 held on a pivot 25 carried by the housing. The control member 20 includes a peripheral crown 23 arranged to act on the interrupters 16. The member 20 also includes resilient return means for biasing the member to a central rest position.
The return means includes tongues 30 cut radially out of the control member 20, the flexible end of these tongues bearing on the lateral surface of a truncated cone 28 carried by the part 12 of the housing, which cone 28 forms an opening for passing the pin 21.
