A device for individually controlling multiple control functions with one hand comprises a base member movable back and forth and a stick member mounted on the base member to move back and forth with it and swing relative to it. The base member has one portion shaped like a pistol butt, with opposite upright front and rear surfaces and a top surface, and has another column-like upright portion, spaced in front of said front surface, defining an outer side surface. In one gripping position, a hand has its palm against said rear surface, thumb and forefingers overlying the top surface, and other fingers either curled around the butt portion to actuate pushbuttons or the like on its front surface or extended for actuating pushbuttons or the like on said outer side surface. In a second gripping position, for swinging the stick member, the hand has its lower edge on said top surface, and fingers are either curled around the stick member or are extended to actuate pushbuttons on an upward extension of the column-like portion.

A control device actuatable by one hand for controlling each of a plurality of functions, comprising: A. a base member confined to movement in a pair of opposite directions and having (1) connection means thereon through which one of said functions is controlled by movement of the base member in said opposite directions, (2) a butt portion on which there are (a) a substantially upwardly facing surface upon which the lower edge of a hand can rest in an upper gripping position and (b) a rear surface which extends downward from said upwardly facing surface to be wholly below the same, said rear surface being engageable by the palm of a hand in a lower gripping position, and (3) a stick supporting portion projecting above said upwardly facing surface and which can be embraced by the lower portion of a hand that is in said upper gripping position; and B. a stick member projecting substantially upward from said stick supporting portion to be embraced by an upper portion of a hand in said upper gripping position, said stick member being swingable relative to the stick supporting portion about at least one axis that extends substantially transversely to the length of the stick member and is near the top of said stick supporting portion.
