Motor vehicle operating pedal assembly has additional links between accelerator and brake and accelerator and clutch pedals to reduce braking distance and prevent accidental over-revving of the engine

摘要

Motor vehicle pedal assembly comprises clutch (1), brake (2) and accelerator pedals (3) each of which is mounted so it pivots about a corresponding axis (X1, X2, X3). The assembly has a link (4) between brake and accelerator pedals, such that the brake pedal is put in an intermediate position or a rest position according to whether the accelerator pedal is activated or in its rest position. An additional link can be created between accelerator and clutch pedals that prevents both pedals being in their maximum activation positions (fully depressed) at the same time.
