Abstract
Disclosed is a movable pedal apparatus for driving a remotely mounted actuator, the movable pedal apparatus comprising: a pedal; a connection member; a first joint through which the pedal is coupled to the connection member, the first joint permitting transfer of rotation of the pedal to the connection member to cause rotation of the connection member; and a second joint through which the connection member is couplable to the remotely mounted actuator, the second joint permitting rotation of the connection member to cause an input to the remotely mounted actuator.
Claims24
A movable pedal apparatus for driving a remotely mounted actuator, the movable pedal apparatus comprising:
- a pedal;
- a connection member;
- a first joint through which the pedal is coupled to the connection member, the first joint permitting transfer of rotation of the pedal to the connection member to cause rotation of the connection member;
- and
- a second joint through which the connection member is couplable to the remotely mounted actuator, the second joint permitting rotation of the connection member to cause an input to the remotely mounted actuator;
- wherein connection member has a variable length between the first joint and the second joint so as to permit translational movement of the first joint relative to the second joint so that the pedal is movable between an initial position and a subsequent position.
