Device for connecting either one of two alternative operating members with an operated member

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A change-over device for connecting a selected one of two incoming Bowden cables with an outgoing Bowden cable to transmit operating movement has three parallel swing arms individually rotatable about a common axis. The incoming cables are connected with the outer arms and the outgoing cable is connected with the center arm. The center arm is provided with an axially extending coupling pin which can be made to engage by axial movement of the center arm, a corresponding hole in the arm associated with the selected cable thereby coupling, these two arms for unison movement.
