Switch device and method for controlling a sprayer

A method of changing the state of a process upon initiation of angular forces comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a rotation member and a slip member in frictional communication via a fluid or semifluid material;
• b. applying rotational force to the rotation member upon the initiation of rotation of a machine driven shaft causing the rotation member to rotate;
• c. engaging the fluid or semifluid material upon rotation of the rotation member to generate a frictional force by the fluid or semifluid material on the slip member;
• d. upon initiation of angular forces by the rotation by of the machine driven shaft, causing the slip member to move by application of the frictional force by the fluid or semifluid material;
• e. monitoring the movement of the slip member by a sensor initially in a first neutral condition;
• f. changing the condition of the sensor to a second condition upon movement of the slip member;
• g. providing a signal by the changing the condition of the sensor to the second condition;
• and
• h. changing the state of a process upon providing the signal.

A method for controlling a sprayer comprising the steps of:

• a. providing an impeller and a housing in communication via a viscous agent;
• b. applying angular force to the impeller upon initiation of movement of a sprayer causing the impeller to rotate;
• c. engaging the viscous agent upon rotation of the impeller to generate an angular force on the housing;
• d. upon initiation of angular force by the movement of the sprayer, causing the housing to rotate by application of the angular force;
• e. monitoring the rotation of the housing by a sensor arm in an initial first neutral position;
• f. moving the sensor arm to a second position upon rotation of the housing;
• g. providing a signal by the changing the position of the sensor to the second position;
• and
• h. changing the state of a process upon providing the signal.
