Accelerator pedal comprising a rotational position sensor with a rotational axis sensor and a pivotal actuation element with an actuation rotational axis

An accelerator pedal comprising:

• a rotational position sensor rotatable about a sensor rotational axis;
• an actuation element pivotal about an actuation rotational axis in response to a force applied by a user;
• a first lever connected to the actuation element and configured to rotate when the actuation element pivots in response to the force applied by the user;
• and
• a second lever connected to first lever and the rotational position sensor, the second lever configured to rotate in response to rotation of the first lever,
• wherein the actuation rotational axis and the sensor rotational axis are different axes, and
• wherein the first lever and the second lever are operatively connected between the actuation element and the rotational position sensor and are cooperable to convert pivoting of the actuation element into rotation of the rotational position sensor in response to the force applied by the user to the actuation element.
