Referring now to the third figure, there is shown an essential end view of the yoke body 22 in a position in contact with the spring positioning member 58. This view is only used to explain the basic operation of the yokes 22 and 24, and is not an actual view of the parts. In detail, it shows that the yoke portion 22 is located at, for example, a non-center or centered position, and the shaft (not shown) and the yoke portion are tilted to the left, and then the rounded corner 68 and the spring Contact is made between the positioning members 58. The rounded corners 62 and the bottom surface 66 are separated from the spring positioning members 58. The key 46 will rotate around its central axis and remain rotatably fixed in the opening 27 (not shown). When in the position shown in the figure, a moment 70 is generated around the test key 46, which can force the yoke body 22 back to the center position. Those skilled in the art will easily understand that the automatic centering operation system can be provided by the features shown in the third figure. It can be understood that the moment 70 system can push the yoke body 22 back to the center position with zero or minimum moment. In detail, when the yoke body 22 is pushed to rotate to the left, the corner 62 will rise and disengage from the spring positioning member 58 »This will cause the rounded corner 68 to press the positioning member 58 downward. The rounded corners 68 will slide smoothly along the upper surface of the positioning member 58 due to the smooth rounded shape. When the rotating force is adjusted by the yoke body 22 11 of this paper size to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297: centimeter) · 00 A7 B7 V. The description of the invention (Cj), the spring 56 will be fully charged The ground is pushed upward, so that the yoke body can be rotated back to a position where the surface 66 can abut the positioning member 58; thereby, the purpose of returning the joystick to the center is achieved. It should be noted here that the upper surface 64 does not necessarily need to form the shape of a rounded edge, and it can form any shape that does not affect the automatic centering feature of the present invention. The spring pressure, the shape of the spring retainer, and the yoke bodies 22 and 24 contribute to a cost-effective design. The combination of the flat surface 66 and the rounded corners 62 and 68 with the flat positioning member S8 can achieve smooth operation with a minimum of parts. In detail, the shapes of the yoke bodies 22 and 24 can reduce the moments around the keys 46 and 48 when they are in the center position when they are in contact with the positioning member 58; in fact, in the center In position, this moment system is almost zero. When the shaft 30 is moved, it will cause the yoke body to rotate around the key, resulting in an increase in the torque around the key, and the yoke body will be returned to the centered position.
