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.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. application Ser. No. 61/316,010, filed Mar. 22, 2010, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- Manual drywall application tools are well known for the supply and application of drywall mud.
- It is an object of this invention to allow the user to control the flow of drywall mud to the continuous feed drywall box tool. The RF control module controls the drywall feed pump remotely at the box tool, giving the user ultimate control of the mud flow while applying mud to the wall, filling the box, or both. The RF control module can be easily transferred to any continuous feed box tool with no tools being required.
- A continuous feed drywall tool system utilizes a pump system to feed drywall mud to drywall tools via a hose connecting the pump and the tools. The system includes pump, hose and tools such as a corner tool, a taper tool and a box finish tool.
- A removable waterproof enclosure houses an RF control and two triggers (or buttons) to start and stop the drywall feed pump. The enclosure attaches to the power-fed drywall box tool handle(s). It has an integral self-locking clamp to keep it in a desired position on the handle when desired. The clamp also has a neutral position to allow it to slide freely with the user's hand for more versatility. Two triggers or buttons on opposite ends of the RF enclosure are used to control the pump on/off from multiple hand grip positions.
- There are a number of advantages to the instant invention in that it remotely controls the drywall feed pump and gives the user ultimate control of mud flow to the box. Further, the quick release housing allows use on multiple box tool handle lengths by enabling the switching of box tools in seconds. It is also shaped to fit the contour of the box handle for optimal comfort and control. The integral clamp allows the user to lock the RF enclosure in the desired position. The clamp design allows for quick release when pulled in opposite direction and includes a neutral position detent to allow user to freely slide the enclosure and control the position with hand grip if desired. This allows for ease of positioning to suit individual user grip preferences. Two triggers/buttons allows for multiple grips and versatility. This control operates independent of the box tool brake handle.
- These and other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more fully from the following description made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to the same or similar parts throughout the several views.

FIG. 8 shows a view of the system of the instant invention. - It is an object of this invention, generally 10, to allow the user to control the flow of drywall mud to the continuous feed
drywall box tool 14. TheRF control module 12 controls thedrywall feed pump 16 remotely at thebox tool 14, giving the user ultimate control of the mud flow while applying mud to the wall, filling thebox 14, or both. TheRF control module 12 can be easily transferred to any continuousfeed box tool 14 with no tools being required. - A continuous feed
drywall tool system 10 utilizes apump system 16 to feed drywall mud todrywall tools 14 via a hose connecting thepump 16 and thetools 14. The system includespump 16,hose 18 andtools 14 such as a corner tool, a taper tool and a box finish tool. - A removable
waterproof enclosure 20 houses anRF control 22 and two triggers/buttons drywall feed pump 16. The enclosure attaches to the power-fed drywall box tool handle(s) 28.Enclosure 20 has ahinge 32 allowingclamshell portions handles 28 of different tools. Alatch 38 releasably securesclamshell portions handle 28 when desired. Theclamp 30 also has a neutral or released position to allow it to slide freely with the user's hand for more versatility. Two triggers orbuttons RF enclosure 20 are used to control thepump 16 on/off from multiple hand grip positions. - There are a number of advantages to the instant invention in that it remotely controls the drywall feed pump and gives the user ultimate control of mud flow to the box. Further, the quick release housing allows use on multiple box tool handle lengths by enabling the switching of box tools in seconds. It is also shaped to fit the contour of the box handle for optimal comfort and control. The integral clamp allows the user to lock the RF enclosure in the desired position. The clamp design allows for quick release when pulled in opposite direction and includes a neutral position detent to allow user to freely slide the enclosure and control the position with hand grip if desired. This allows for ease of positioning to suit individual user grip preferences. Two triggers/buttons allows for multiple grips and versatility. This control operates independent of the box tool brake handle.
- It is contemplated that various changes and modifications may be made to the control module without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
