Arrestor for user operated devices

摘要

An arrestor restricts the movement of a user operated device and is designed to allow flexible placement of the user operated device and subsequent locking to an adjacent object. While one function is to fix a foot pedal relative to a keyboard stand, the foot pedal arrestor can also be applied to any user operated device associated with a broad spectrum of applications. These range from musical instruments through foot operated industrial equipment and office equipment to in home devices such as sewing machines and recreational equipment such as boat motor controllers.

主权项

1. An arrestor for restricting movement of a user operated device electrically connected to a device operated by the user operated device comprising:
capture fitting means for capturing the user operated device and for restricting the movement of the user operated device relative to said arrestor; a distance spanning shaft; capture lock means connected to capture fitting means for positioning said capture fitting means relative to said distance spanning shaft; fixed connection locator means for attaching said arrestor statically to an adjacent structure and for positioning said arrestor relative to the adjacent structure; and locking joint means connected to said distance spanning shaft for locking said distance spanning shaft to a position relative to said fixed connection locator means to restrict the movement of the user operated device relative to the adjacent structure.
