ABSTRACT:
A single lever control comprising a housing having a first recess, a shaft pivotably supported by the housing and having an axial bore, a shift member pivotably supported by the housing coaxially with the shaft and adapted to be operably connected to a clutch, the shift member being movable relative to a neutral position and having a second recess located radially inwardly of the first recess and aligned with the first recess when the shift member is in the neutral position, a plunger housed in the bore for movement axially of the shaft between first and second positions, and a mechanism for fixing the shift member to the shaft and permitting rotation of the shift member relative to the housing when the plunger is in the first position, and for fixing the shift member to the housing and permitting rotation of the shaft relative to the shift member when the plunger is in the second position, the mechanism including a member at least partially housed in the second recess, and a mechanism for moving the member radially outwardly of the first recess and into the second recess when the shift member is in the neutral position and in response to movement of the plunger to the second position.
