Abstract
System to disconnect a device control pedal (1) from the device to which it is connected, said pedal (1) being connected to the device by a rod (2) whose end (3) is attached to a first spinning body (4) coupled to the pedal (1) and rotatable around an axis (5), the system comprising a second spinning body (6) provided with a pusher element (7), so that when the second spinning body (6) rotates due to a head-on collision of the vehicle, the rod (2) is displaced due to the action of the pusher element (7) so that it is separated from the first spinning body (4) coupled to the pedal (1).

A system to disconnect a device control pedal (1) from a device to which the device control pedal is connected, said pedal (1) being connected to the device by a rod (2), wherein the rod comprises an end (3) connected to a first spinning body (4), wherein the first spinning body is coupled to the pedal and rotatable around a spin axis (5), wherein the system further comprises a second spinning body (6) provided with a pusher element (7), so that when the second spinning body rotates due to a head-on collision of a vehicle, the rod (2) is displaced due to an action of the pusher element (7) so that the rod is separated from the first spinning body (4) coupled to the pedal.
A system for disconnecting a control pedal from a device being controlled, the system comprising:
- a rod for connecting the device to the control pedal;
- a first rotating body mounted on the control pedal, wherein the first rotating body is connected to the rod, thereby connecting the rod to the control pedal;
- a second rotating body mounted on the control pedal comprising a surface having a variable height as the second rotating body rotates;
- wherein the second rotating body is configured to rotate during a collision such that the surface having a variable height applies a force on the rod to disconnect the rod from the first rotating body.
