Abstract
A foot control assembly for use with power-driven equipment having reversible electrically-actuated operations such as, for example, power-operated medical examination tables and chairs. The assembly includes a base housing located along a floor surface adjacent to the equipment with which it is operatively connected. A plurality of actuating members are mounted upon the housing, such members being spaced laterally apart to define at least one operating station therebetween. Each station is wide enough to receive at least the front or toe portion of an operator's foot. The actuating members are horizontally movable and are shifted by lateral contact with an operator's foot to actuate either of a pair of reversible power operations associated with each station.
