Abstract

See full text

A vibration-reducing control lever assembly which in one form comprises a knob, an elastomeric isolator coupled to the knob, and a lever coupled to the elastomeric isolator. The isolator acts as an intermediary between the lever and the knob and reduces vibrations transmitted from the lever to the knob. Thus, the knob is isolated from, rather than directly connected to, the lever. Alternative embodiments include a lever-receiving insert, one or more internal passageways which bypass the elastomeric isolator and a detachable hollow skirt. In some embodiments, the elastomeric isolator is captured and compressed by an isolator receiver.
