Sip/Puff Breeze

Sip/Puff Breeze is an ultra portable air pressure sensor with a USB interface for direct connection to standard USB ports on computers, laptops, and AAC devices. The electronic pressure sensor in Breeze connects to the air tube via a simple twist-on pneumatic connector and will sense a sip or puff and convert these events to mouse button clicks or joystick button presses, and pass these to the connected USB host device (typically a PC or Mac computer).

Gooseneck Mount

Strong, lightweight and versatile, the Sip/Puff Gooseneck features a Universal Mount that securely attaches to table tops, beds and wheelchairs. The flexible steel gooseneck and the ball-and-socket mount enable easy and secure mouthpiece positioning.

The flexible shaft is delivered with an adjustable mechanical mounting arm that is articulated in four degrees of freedom. The mounting arm includes an integrated adjustable clamp that supports hard-mounting to table tops, shelves, or cylindrical rods of up to 38 mm diameter (1.5-inches). The flexible shaft incorporates a standard 1/4-20 thread for use with the delivered universal mount, tripods or other special mounting hardware.

The universal mounting arm is composed of two separate pieces, a ball and joint assembly and a clamp. The ball and joint assembly aligns with the clamp using an orientation pin that fixes it in one of eight 45-degree orientations

The single axis joint can be locked in one of thirteen positions (15-degree increments) over a range of 180-degrees as shown in the illustration.

The ball and socket provides additional capability to fix the universal mount at almost any angle. The clamp v-groove facilitates attaching the clamp to a cylindrical object. Clamps with larger openings are available.
