A multipartite drive pedal of synthetic plastic material for vehicles whose members are hinge-like connected with each other by way of material-integrated film hinges, whereby within the area of the upper end of the foot plate of the drive pedal, a connecting member for the pivotal connection of the foot plate with a pivotal lever projecting into the leg space is arranged on the back side thereof; a bore which is provided in the connecting member for receiving the end of the lever facing the drive pedal is arranged in a clamping member pivotal relative to the connecting member within the same plane and coupled thereto by way of a film hinge; the bore is arranged transversely to the film hinges and the clamping member is adapted to be fixed axially on the at least approximately rectilinearly extending end of the lever in various positions to compensate for relatively large manufacturing tolerances.
A multipartite drive pedal arrangement of synthetic plastic material for a vehicle comprising a foot plate connected to fastening members by flexible film hinges, a first of said fastening members being located at a lower end of the foot plate and secured to a wall portion of the vehicle, and a second of the fastening members being located at an upper rear side portion of the foot plate and secured to a pivotally mounted lever within a leg space of a passenger compartment of the vehicle, said second fastening member having a bore extending therethrough in a direction extending approximately transversely to a direction corresponding to a line about which the hinge between the second fastening member and foot plate flexes, and clamping means for fixing said second fastening member at a plurality of axially spaced positions along a linear end portion of the lever, said clamping means being connected to said second fastening means by a further flexible film hinge.
