1. A control device for providing a variable control signal to a fluid-supplying machine, the device comprising:
- a first handle;
a second handlea resilient attachment member connecting the first handle to the second handle such that an operator can select a distance between the first handle and second handle; and
a first sensor operatively associated with the second handle for generating a control signal as a function of said distance between the first handle and second handle.

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

17. A control device for controlling a fluid-supplying machine, the device comprising:
-
a first control surface; a second control surface; biasing means connecting a portion of the first control surface to a portion of the second control surface, wherein the biasing means is configured to bias the first control surface to a known position with respect to the second control surface; and sensing means operatively associated with the second control surface for producing a variable control signal indicative of a position of the first control surface with respect to the second control surface. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
