Abstract
An actuating mechanism is provided for controlling external devices by means of coaxial actuating cables or other suitable linkages. The actuator includes an internal slide element movable to selected detent positions by means of a lever arm which pushes against the slide when raised. The slide is returned to its starting position by depressing the lever arm. Indicator openings are provided in the body of the actuator permitting visual inspection of the position of the slide to indicate the control setting selected. Use of the actuator to control and position retractable fins or skegs on a water board is also disclosed. The actuator is positioned on the upper surface of the water board just forward of and between the rider's knees and coaxial actuating cables link the actuator to retractable fins on the underside of the board. The actuator can be easily manipulated with one hand to retract or extend the fins quickly. The indicator feature indicates the fin setting selected.
