Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A remote control system for transmitting control movement to a controlled member comprising an actuator unit having manual actuating means and electric actuating means both operatively connected to said controlled member, a first remote control unit having a first operator mechanically connected to said manual actuating means for selectively transmitting movement to said manual actuating means upon movement of said first operator, a central control unit, a second remote control unit having a second operator electrically connected to said electric actuating means through said central control unit for selectively transmitting an electrical signal to said central control unit for selectively transmitting movement to said electric actuating means upon movement of said second operator, means for transmitting movement of each of said actuating means into movement of said controlled member, interlock means for precluding operation of said controlled member by one of said operators when the other of said operators is operated, and means for indicating the control state of said operators.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A remote control system for transmitting control movement to a controlled member comprising an actuator unit having manual actuating means and electric actuating means both operatively connected to said controlled member, a first remote control unit having a first operator mechanically connected to said manual actuating means for selectively transmitting movement to said manual actuating means upon movement of said first operator, a central control unit, a second remote control unit having a second operator electrically connected to said electric actuating means through said central control unit for selectively transmitting an electrical signal to said central control unit for selectively transmitting movement to said electric actuating means upon movement of said second operator, means for transmitting movement of each of said actuating means into movement of said controlled member, interlock means for precluding operation of said controlled member by one of said operators when the other of said operators is operated, and means for indicating the control state of said operators.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A remote control system as recited in claim 1, wherein said manual actuating means comprises a lever arm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A remote control system as recited in claim 1, wherein said electric actuating means comprises an electric motor and a worm gear assembly.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A remote control system as recited in claim 1, wherein said interlock means comprises a plurality of interlock switches, and a locking mechanism.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A remote control system as recited in claim 1, wherein said indicating means comprises a selection display unit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
A remote control system as recited in claim 4, wherein said locking mechanism comprises a solenoid and a lock pin responsive to said solenoid for selectively locking said manual actuating means to preclude operation of said controlled member by said first operator when said second operator is operated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
A remote control system as recited in claim 6, wherein said locking mechanism further comprises a worm gear assembly to preclude operation of said controlled member by said second operator when said first operator is operated.
