ABSTRACT:
A mouth and/or hand-held finger-actuated remote control unit is disclosed which is operable to permit selective variation of a pneumatic-operated controller (38, 42) having a proportional electrical control output to the electric motor (46) of a sewing machine (48). The unit comprises a hollow, elastic compressible bladder element (10, 110, 210) closed at one end and which is pneumatically connected to the controller. The bladder element is of length, width and height dimensions selected and proportioned to permit insertion of the bladder element in a person's mouth between the upper and lower teeth, or between the last fingers of a person's hand between the innermost knuckles and the person's palm. The bladder element is compressible by closing of a person's teeth thereon or movement of the fingers engaging the bladder toward the individual's palm to force air to the controller, thus controlling operation of the sewing machine. By modulating the pressure applied to bladder element 10 between the person's teeth or the last fingers and the person's palm, the machine may be turned off and on, and the speed of the sewing unit of machine may be controlled within very close limits, and can easily be varied from slow startup to full speed by simply applying more and more bite or finger pressure to the bladder element.
