Abstract
An adjustable pedal assembly including a carrier (14) slidably supported on a hollow rod (12) with first (24) and second (26) wedge members (24) and (26) urged up inclined surfaces (34) and (38) by a bolt (28) and spring (30) interconnecting the wedge members (24) and (26). The wedge members (24) and (26) include wedge flanking surfaces (42) in sliding engagement with lips (40) in the rod (12) for forcing the rod (12) into engagement with a bore (41) in the carrier (14) as the wedge members (24) and (26) are moved upwardly by the inclined surfaces (34) and (36).

A pedal (20) assembly comprising;
- a guide (12),
- a carrier (14) supported by said guide (12) for rectilinear movement along an adjustment path,
- a pedal (20) supported by said carrier (14) and extending from said carrier (14) to a distal pedal end (22),
- a mechanism interacting between said carrier (14) and said guide (12) for urging said guide (12) into engagement with said carrier (14),
- said assembly characterized by said mechanism including at least one pair (32, 34) or (36, 38) of co-acting surfaces inclined relative to said path of movement and movable relative to one another in a wedging action to force said guide (12) into engagement with said carrier (14).
