Abstract: A wireless controller (14) comprises a housing including a first portion (20a) and a second portion (20b) moveably attached to the first portion (20a). The first portion (20a) supports the controller (14) relative to an external surface and is adjustable between an elevated position and a collapsed position, wherein a first end of the first portion (20a) is elevated relative to a second end of the first portion (20a) when the first portion is in the elevated position. A sensing element (22) senses a position of the second portion (20b) relative to the first portion (20a) and provides a corresponding position signal. A transmitter (24) is coupled with the sensing element (22) and wirelessly transmits the position signal.

Abstract: A wireless control system (10) for a welding system (12) including an electrical control interface (18). The control system (10) may generally comprise a foot pedal (14) and a receiver (16). The foot pedal (14) may include a pivotable housing (20), a sensing element (22) operable to sense a position of the pivotable housing (20) and provide a corresponding pedal position signal, and a transmitter (24) operable to wirelessly transmit the pedal position signal. The receiver (16) may include an antenna (36) operable to wirelessly receive the pedal position signal generated by the foot pedal (14), a processor (38) operable to process the received pedal position signal, and a connector (40) operable to connect with the electrical control interface (18) associated with the welding system (12) to provide the processed pedal position signal thereto.
