Patent granted for control stick with light guide structure
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11969648B2) discloses a unique control stick design comprising a stick assembly with an outer tube-like opaque wall, an annular light guide structure, and an elongated central axial member. The annular light guide structure is positioned inside the outer wall and directs light from at least one light source to an annular end surface, providing illumination. The control stick also includes a control-stick-cap with a light permeable ring that aligns with the annular light guide structure, enhancing visibility and aesthetics.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and features of the control stick, such as the fixed attachment of the annular light guide structure to the outer wall, the coupling of the light source to transmit light towards the annular end surface, and the inclusion of a locking element with a magnet for securing the control-stick-cap to the stick assembly. The design also allows for removable coupling between the cap and stick assembly, providing flexibility in assembly and maintenance. Additionally, the control stick includes a connector for electrical connection with the light source, ensuring efficient operation and control of the illumination feature.
