Abstract
An adjustable pedal for a motor vehicle. A pedal arm is mounted at a bearing block so as to be able to pivot around a pedal axis and which has an articulation point for coupling to a device that is to be actuated by the pedal. The articulation point is spaced apart from the pedal axis by a first lever arm length; a pedal base body, which is mounted at the pedal arm and can be adjusted in relation to the pedal arm; a pedal plate, which is arranged in a bearing point at the lower end of the pedal base body. The bearing point of the pedal plate is spaced apart from the pedal axis by a second lever arm length; and an adjusting unit.
Claims8
An adjustable pedal for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a pedal arm, which is configured to pivot around a pedal axis and which has an articulation point for coupling to a device that is to be actuated by the pedal, wherein the articulation point is spaced apart from the pedal axis by a first lever arm length;
- a pedal base body, which is mounted at the pedal arm and can be adjusted in relation to the pedal arm;
- a pedal plate, which is arranged in a bearing point at the lower end of the pedal base body, wherein the bearing point of the pedal plate is spaced apart from the pedal axis by a second lever arm length;
- and
- an adjusting unit, which acts as a drive on the pedal base body and by means of which the pedal base body and the pedal plate are arranged to execute an arcuate adjusting movement in relation to the pedal arm with a change in the second lever arm length,
- wherein the articulation point is mounted adjustably in relation to the pedal arm and that the adjusting unit also acts as a drive on the articulation point and the articulation point can be adjusted in relation to the pedal arm by the adjusting unit with a change in the first lever arm length, wherein the pedal base body is mounted at the pedal arm so as to be able to pivot around a first pedal bearing point and around a second pedal bearing point, wherein the first and second pedal bearing points can move in a guided translational manner in relation to the pedal arm.
