Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2950202A1] The present invention relates to devices in which an operator control element is associated with a handle, wherein the operator control element is arranged in such a way that when an index finger and/or middle finger and/or ring finger and/or little finger of a hand wrap/wraps around the handle, the thumb of said hand can be placed on the operator control element. In order for the operator control element to be able to be used in a manner which is suitable for the left hand and the right hand equally, the handle is designed such that its position can be varied in such a way that the handle can be moved to at least two different operating positions relative to the operator control element. In this case, one of the operating positions is situated relative to the operator control element such that the right hand can grasp the handle and the thumb of the right hand can be placed on the operator control element, and the other operating position is situated such that the left hand can grasp the handle and the thumb of the left hand can be placed on the operator control element. In this case, the handle is designed in the form of a rod for the purpose of relatively easy handling.
