ABSTRACT:
A slider wheel housing assembly 10) is provided for mounting an aircraft pitch and roll control stick or shaft (28) to control panel structure (34) in the aircraft's cockpit. The assembly (10) includes a housing (12) having a pair of parallel guide rails (14, 16) that extend along opposite outside surfaces of the housing (12). Each guide rail (14, 16) laterally projects outwardly away from its respective side of the housing (12). Each rail (14, 16) further has first and second beveled outer surfaces (18, 20) which extend along the length of each rail (14, 16). These surfaces (18, 20) provide running surfaces for a plurality of roller wheels (44, 46, 48, 50) which are rotationally mounted to the control panel structure (34). The wheels (44, 46, 48, 50) and guide rails (14, 16) cooperatively hold the housing (12) in the control panel structure (34) while at the same time permitting the housing (12) to translate back and forth, the direction of translation being defined by the direction of the rails (14, 16). Connected to the assembly's housing (12) is the control shaft (28) which translates correspondingly with housing movement. The shaft (28) is connected to the assembly's housing (12) in a manner so that it can also rotate for roll control as well as translate for pitch control.
