Although an accelerator interlocking member (26) and an acceleration function follow-up member (28) magnetically coupled with each other when an automobile stops or travels at a car speed less than a predetermined speed are released from the magnetic coupling when an accelerator erroneous operation is made, a normal operation security apparatus (100) serves to lock the accelerator interlocking member and the acceleration function follow-up member so that they are mechanically coupled whereby the accelerator interlocking member and the acceleration function follow-up member are integrally coupled with each other to prevent the release of the magnetic coupling of them on a normal operation so as to be enable to positively perform the overtaking operation and the ascent hill travel.
A normal travel security apparatus for an automobile equipped with an accelerator erroneous operation prevention apparatus comprising magnetic coupling means (30) to magnetically couple with each other in a normal state an accelerator interlocking member (26) interlocking with an accelerator pedal (14) of said automobile and an acceleration function follow-up member (28) associated with speed adjustment means such as a throttle valve of a gasoline automobile or a speed variable signal generator of an electric car, coupling release means (46) to release the magnetic coupling of said accelerator interlocking member and said acceleration function follow-up member when said accelerator pedal is erroneously pushed down in place of a brake pedal and lock means (62) to lock said coupling release means so that said coupling release means never works by mechanically coupling said accelerator interlocking member and said acceleration function follow-up member, said normal travel security apparatus characterized by comprising lock activation means (110) to keep a lock state of said lock means when said automobile travels at a speed equal to or more than a predetermined speed based on a normal operation of said automobile.
