CONTROL DEVICE FOR PROVIDING A VARIABLE CONTROL SIGNAL TO A FLUID-SUPPLYING MACHINE

摘要

A control device (10) for controlling a fluid supplying machine. The control device includes a first handle (12) and a second handle (14) connected by a resilient attachment member (16). The resilient attachment member (16) is configured to allow the first handle (12) to move with respect to the second handle (14) in response to an input from an operator. The control device (10) further includes a sensor (18) attached to the first handle (12) for producing a variable control signal indicative of a distance between the first handle (12) and the second handle (14).
