-26- Abstract of the Disclosure Adjustable Control Console In the operator's station of a vehicle, it has been common practice to mount the steering wheel and vehicle control levers on an adjustable control console. The console may then be moved fore and aft to accommodate the individual operators to enhance their comfort. Existing mechanical latching mechanisms provide only a selected number of positions to which the control console may be place, and are often cumbersome. Hydraulic cylinders incorporated into an adjustable control console design provide an unlimited number of positions that the control console may assume. These designs, however, are quite complex. Actuating apparatus is positioned about a pivot shaft that is utilized in the pivotal mounting of the control console to the vehicle frame. The actuating apparatus serves as a mounting member for a position locking device and allows the control console to be locked in a position anywhere between its maximum travel limits. A centering mechanism is also mounted about the pivot shaft to maintain the actuating means in a preselected position. With the actuating apparatus and the centering mechanism mounted about the pivot shaft the entire mechanism is very effective and compact in structure.
