A brake pedal (1) for a vehicle, in particular, a motor vehicle, includes a framework structure (2) mounted for rotation about a first rotation spindle (3) connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle. A peg (5) is fixed to one end (4a) of a pedal web (4) and slides in a slot (21) provided in the framework structure (2). A movement mechanism (7) causes the peg to slide in the slot, defining a length (L) between the rotation spindle of the framework structure and the other end (4b) of the pedal web. A first link (8) is connected to the framework structure and is mounted for rotation about a second rotation spindle (9) connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle. The first link includes a connection (13) for receiving an end of the rod of the brake booster of the vehicle at a distance (R) from the second rotation spindle. The brake pedal operates to provide a constant step-down ratio (L/R).
An adjustable brake pedal for a vehicle, comprising a framework structure mounted for rotation about a first rotation spindle and connectable to a bulkhead of the vehicle, a pedal web having a peg fixed to a first end and slidably received in a slot in the framework structure, a movement mechanism for causing the peg to slide in the slot and defining a length (L) between the first rotation spindle and a second end of the pedal web, a first link connected to the framework structure and mounted for rotation about a second rotation spindle connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle, wherein the first link includes a connection for receiving an end of a rod of a brake booster associated with the vehicle at a distance (R) from the second rotation spindle, a first worm associated with one end of the first link, and a first nut coupled with the first worm, wherein the first nut is mounted to slide on the first worm so that the end of the rod of the brake booster is adjusted by the first link to obtain a constant step-down ratio (L/R), and wherein the movement mechanism includes an angled reduction gearbox coupled to a second worm, and a second nut secured to the pedal web for slidingly receiving the second worm.
A pedalbox module for a motor vehicle, comprising an adjustable brake pedal including a framework structure mounted for rotation about a first rotation spindle and connectable to a bulkhead of the vehicle, a pedal web having a peg fixed to a first end and slidably received in a slot in the framework structure, a movement mechanism for causing the peg to slide in the slot and defining a length (L) between the first rotation spindle and a second end of the pedal web, a first link connected to the framework structure and mounted for rotation about a second rotation spindle connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle, wherein the first link includes a connection for receiving an end of a rod of a brake booster associated with the vehicle at a distance (R) from the second rotation spindle, a first worm associated with one end of the first link, and a first nut coupled with the first worm, wherein the first nut is mounted to slide on the first worm so that the end of the rod of the brake booster is adjusted by the first link to obtain a constant step-down ratio (L/R), and wherein the movement mechanism includes an angled reduction gearbox coupled to a second worm, and a second nut secured to the pedal web for slidingly receiving the second worm.
