Abstract (en)
The joystick has a stick (12) movable with respect to a base in rotation around two axes, and returning units e.g. metal helicoidal spring (214), mounted between the base and a movable element i.e. movable support, acting on the stick and tending to return the stick to a neutral position. Compensation units e.g. compression springs, are mounted between the base and the movable element, and apply force on the movable element partially compensating the force applied by the returning units when the stick is located in vicinity of the neutral position. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a joystick.
Abstract (fr)
L'invention concerne un joystick comprenant un manche (12) mobile par rapport à un socle (11) au moins en rotation autour de deux axes, et des premiers moyens de rappel montés entre ledit socle (11) et un élément mobile agissant sur ledit manche (12), tendant à ramener ledit manche (12) dans une position neutre. Des moyens de compensation, montés entre ledit socle (11) et ledit élément mobile, appliquent sur celui-ci une force compensant au moins partiellement la force appliquée par lesdits premiers moyens de rappel, au moins lorsque ledit manche (12) se trouve à proximité de ladite position neutre.
