Rf control module for continuous feed drywall tools

Abstract

A removable waterproof enclosure ( 20 ) houses an RF control ( 22 ) and two triggers (or buttons) ( 24 ) and ( 26 ) to start and stop a drywall feed pump ( 16 ). The enclosure attaches to the power-fed drywall box tool handle(s) ( 28 ). It has a manual clamp ( 30 ) to keep it in a desired position on the handle ( 28 ) when desired. The clamp ( 30 ) also has a neutral or released position to allow it to slide freely with the user's hand for more versatility. Two triggers or buttons ( 24 ) and ( 26 ) on opposite ends of the RF enclosure ( 20 ) are used to control the pump ( 16 ) on/off from multiple hand grip positions.
