ABSTRACT:
A manual control device for selectively actuating one or more switches in a multiswitch system. The device is utilized in cooperation with a video entertainment system, multimedia game device or other type system requiring a hand-actuated control apparatus. The device includes a housing, a plurality of switches disposed in the housing and being actuatable upon engagement, a switch actuator mounted in the housing and a plunger forming with said switch actuator a fulcrum to limit movement of the actuator in a manner to provide selective engagement and actuation of the switches, while permitting simultaneous engagement and actuation of selective pairs of the switches to provide different outputs. The device is operable to actuate switches individually or in adjacent pairs. The device is capable of both direct and tilt methods of operation such that in the tilt method the tilting movement for switch actuation is less than that required in the direct method.
