Adjustable pedal assembly—floating floor

Abstract

An adjustable pedal assembly (10) includes two pedal mechanisms (12 and 14) disposed on a top side (16) of a carrier plate (18). Two parallel tracks (20 and 22) are disposed on a bottom side (24) of the carrier (18) for supporting the carrier (18) for movement between a fore and an aft position. The parallel tracks (20 and 22) are spaced apart a first distance for minimizing torque when either of the pedal mechanisms (12 and 14) is actuated. Additionally, the pedal mechanisms (12 and 14) are within the first distance separating the tracks (12 and 14). The carrier plate (18) has a periphery (26) extending about and spaced from the parallel tracks (20 and 22) to overlie the peripheral surface (34) of the floorboard (32) and limit access to the recess (36). An adjustment mechanism (28) for adjusting a fore and an aft position of the carrier (18) is disposed on the bottom side (24) of the carrier (18) between the parallel tracks (20 and 22).
