Abstract
Description
Le groupe consiste en une commande manuelle pour ta mise en mouvement d'une figure sur l'écran d'un kinescope qui rc groupe, en un seul levier, une commande pour la rotation, un poussoir pour un mouvement accessoire et une commande de déplacement linéaire graduel en tous sens, relié à des amortisseurs oléodynamiques à double effet qui déterminent une proportionnalité entre l'effort imparti à ce levier et la vitesse de déplacement de la figure sur l'écran.The group consists of a manual command for setting a figure in motion on the screen of a kinescope which groups, with a single lever, a command for rotation, a pusher for an accessory movement and a movement command. gradual linear in all directions, connected to double-acting oleodynamic dampers which determine a proportionality between the force imparted to this lever and the speed of movement of the figure on the screen.
Comme chacun sait, il existe actuellement divers types de commande pour le déplacement d'une figure sur l'écran. On a toutefois pu constater que les systèmes de commande ont uniquement pour but de permettre le mouvement de la figure, dont les vitesses, de rotation et de déplacement, sont programmées par l'électronique et par conséquent indépendantes aussi bien de la volonté de l'opérateur que des besoins du jeu. De plus, pour actionner les poussoirs et les leviers en vue des opérations de déplacement et de rotation, les deux mains sont occupées. La présence en particulier des inconvénients illustrés limite considérablement l'application de commandes de ce genre sur des appareils où l'usager doit exécuter en même temps les mouvements de déplacement et de rotation de deux figures sur l'écran, tout en devant appuyer sur un ou deux poussoirs pour les mouvements accessoires. Le but de cette invention est l'élimination des inconvénients indiqués plus haut, grâce à la réalisation d' une commande à cloche à l'aide de laquelle on peut, en actionnant d'une seule main le levier, opérer avec les possibilités suivantes:
- 1) effectuer les déplacements voulus de la figure; en un point quelconque de la visionneuse, de façon proportionnelle et graduelle, avec ample déplacement du levier.
- 2) déplacer la figure sur l'écran, à une vitesse proportionnelle à l'effort imparti au levier et à une vitesse maximum tarée.
- 3) effectuer la rotation de la figure en tournant le levier; la figure suit la vitesse de rotation du levier.
- 4) occuper physiquement l'opérateur par l'application de freins sur le levier (amortisseurs) qui agissent dans tous les sens de déplacement; ces dispositifs ralentissent en outre le mouvement de la figure sur l'écran.
- 5) agir sur le pommeau central du levier, même simultanément au déplacement et à la rotation, pour actionner un mouve- ment accessoire.
- 1) make the desired movements of the figure; at any point in the viewer, proportionally and gradually, with ample movement of the lever.
- 2) move the figure on the screen, at a speed proportional to the force allocated to the lever and at a maximum tared speed.
- 3) rotate the figure by turning the lever; the figure follows the speed of rotation of the lever.
- 4) physically occupy the operator by applying brakes to the lever (shock absorbers) which act in all directions of movement; these devices also slow down the movement of the figure on the screen.
- 5) act on the central lever knob, even simultaneously with the displacement and rotation, for actuating a move - ment accessory.
En réalité, toutes les fonctions sus-indiquées sont exécutées par un groupe manue de commande à cloche formé par l'ad connbu- naison d'un levier oscillant et pivotant sur son propre axe et porté par un joint a cardan aussi bien pour les déplacements linéaires que pour la rotation, d'un poussoin place au centre et en relief sur ce |evier, de deux amortisseurs oléodynamiques à double effet et de deux systèmes inductifs électromagnétiques.In reality, all of the above functions are performed by a manual bell-shaped control group formed by the combination of an oscillating and pivoting lever on its own axis and carried by a universal joint for both linear movements and for rotation, of a push-up position in the center and in relief on this sink, two oleodynamic double-acting shock absorbers and two electromagnetic inductive systems.

Le système inductif n'est pas représenté en figure individuelle parce que déjà connu.The inductive system is not shown in the individual figure because it is already known.
En référence aux figures mentionnées, la commande manuelle comprend un levier 1 avec, au centre et en relief, un pommeau 2, un axe 3 solidaire au levier 1 pivotant sur lui-même et sur l'élément 4 du joint à cardan, formé par les éléments 4, 5 et 6. Les amortisseurs 7 et 9, du type à double effet, sont appliqués entre les éléments 4 et 5 de ce joint à cardan et les éléments 5 et 6. Les systèmes inductifs 8 et 10 sont disposés en parallèle à chacun des 2 amortisseurs.With reference to the figures mentioned, the manual control comprises a
Sur l'axe 3 est fixée une roue dentelée 12 qui commande un dispositif électronique, lui-même connu, pour la rotation de la figure. Le profil fixe 11 délimite les déplacements du levier dans tous les sens. Et les deux systèmes inductifs ainsi que les deux amortisseurs agissent dans tous les sens de déplacement du levier étant donné qu'ils sont disposés dans les deux sens orthogonaux.On the
Les deux systèmes inductifs fournissent à l'électronique les données pour positionner la figure sur l'écran tandis que les deux amortisseurs limitent la vitesse de déplacement du levier, en lui conférant un mouvement doux et progressif.The two inductive systems provide the electronics with the data to position the figure on the screen while the two shock absorbers limit the speed of movement of the lever, giving it a smooth and progressive movement.
En outre, lors de ces déplacements linéaires, l'opérateur est obligé de faire un effort proportionnel à la vitesse de déplacement de la figure que l'on désire obtenir.In addition, during these linear displacements, the operator is forced to make a force proportional to the speed of displacement of the figure that one wishes to obtain.
Un opérateur peut, par conséquent, aisément piloter une figure d'une seule main, de façon à la déplacer en un point quelconque de l'écran, à une vitesse proportionnelle à l'effort appliqué au levier et à une vitesse maximum tarée. La rotation de la figure peut être effectuée même au cours de ce déplacement, de la même façon que l'on peut facilement pousser le pommeau dans toutes les conditions de manoeuvre.An operator can, therefore, easily control a figure with one hand, so as to move it to any point on the screen, at a speed proportional to the force applied to the lever and at a maximum tared speed. The rotation of the figure can be carried out even during this movement, in the same way that one can easily push the knob in all operating conditions.
L'invention atteint ainsi les buts préfixés. Le caractère exhaustif du groupe est mis en évidence, groupe qui permet un positionnement précis et une manoeuvrabilité rationnelle. L'invention ainsi concue est susceptible de nombreuses modifications et variantes, entrant toutes dans le cadre du concept d'invention.The invention thus achieves the prefixed objects. The exhaustive nature of the group is highlighted, a group which allows precise positioning and rational maneuverability. The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variants, all coming within the framework of the concept of invention.
