Control pedal unit for a vehicle

A control pedal unit for vehicles, comprising:

• a mounting structure having a U-shaped mounting end with spaced parallel leg walls and aligned mounting openings formed in said spaced parallel leg walls, a stationary bearing support sleeve fitted between said spaced parallel leg walls coaxially with said mounting openings so as to be firmly engaged therebetween and to be held axially in position between said leg walls, a slide hub extending from one side of said parallel leg walls through said mounting openings and through said bearing support sleeve for radially supporting said bearing support sleeve between said spaced parallel leg walls, said slide hub having a circumferential wall with resilient projections extending radially therefrom and said bearing support sleeve having cutouts formed therein and sized so as to snugly receive said resilient projections when said slide hub is fully inserted in said bearing support sleeve to thereby hold said slide hub in engagement within said bearing support sleeve and support said bearing support sleeve radially between said spaced parallel leg walls, a pedal lever having at one end an eyepiece with an opening disposed between said spaced parallel leg walls and receiving said bearing support sleeve such that said pedal lever is pivotally supported on said bearing support sleeve between said spaced parallel leg walls and at least one return spring operatively connected between said pedal lever and said mounting structure for biasing said pedal lever away from said mounting structure.
