Abstract
An adjustable pedal system for a vehicle includes an adjustable brake pedal assembly including a dual lever having an upper pivot mount portion and a pair of laterally spaced lower pedal mount portions, a pedal arm adapted to be selectively mounted to either of the pair of laterally spaced lower pedal mount portions, a foot pedal mounted at an end of the pedal arm. An adjustable accelerator pedal assembly including an upper lever arm having an upper pivot mount portion, an intermediate link having an upper end pivotally mounted to the upper lever arm by a first pivot joint and a pedal arm having an upper end mounted to a lower end of the intermediate link by a second pivot joint and including a foot pedal at a distal end.
Claims19
An adjustable brake pedal assembly, comprising:
- a dual lever having an upper pivot mount portion and a pair of laterally spaced protruding lower pedal mount portions;
- a pedal arm adapted to be selectively mounted to either of the pair of laterally spaced protruding lower pedal mount portions;
- and
- a foot pedal mounted at an end of the pedal arm.
An adjustable accelerator pedal assembly, comprising:
- an upper lever arm having an upper pivot mount portion;
- an intermediate link having an upper end pivotally mounted to the upper lever arm by a first pivot joint;
- a pedal arm having an upper end mounted to a lower end of the intermediate link by a second pivot joint and including a foot pedal at a distal end;
- wherein the adjustable accelerator pedal assembly moves in a first directional plane;
- further comprising the intermediate link having a first pivot joint axis of rotation and a second pivot joint axis of rotation parallel to the first directional plane;
- wherein a lateral position of the foot pedal is adjustable relative to the upper lever arm by pivoting of the first pivot joint and the second pivot joint.
An adjustable pedal system for a vehicle, comprising:
- an adjustable brake pedal assembly mounted adjacent to adjustable accelerator assembly and including a dual lever having an upper pivot mount portion and a pair of laterally spaced protruding lower pedal mount portions, a pedal arm adapted to be selectively mounted to either of the pair of laterally spaced protruding lower pedal mount portions, a foot pedal mounted at an end of the pedal arm;
- and
- an adjustable accelerator pedal assembly including an upper lever arm having an upper pivot mount portion, an intermediate link having an upper end pivotally mounted to the upper lever arm by a first pivot joint and a pedal arm having an upper end mounted to a lower end of the intermediate link by a second pivot joint and including a foot pedal at a distal end.
