Vehicle-operating apparatus

A vehicle driving apparatus comprising:

• a lever that moves to an acceleration position, an idle position, or a brake position as rotating about a shaft fixed to a vehicle body at a predetermined angle;
• a hand acceleration means that opens an engine throttle independently of an acceleration pedal operated by a foot to cause a vehicle to be accelerated, when the lever moves to the acceleration position;
• a hand brake means that pushes a booster rod of a brake booster independently of a brake pedal operated by the foot to cause the vehicle to be stopped, when the lever moves to the brake position;
• a brake pedal that is stepped on and manipulated by the foot of a driver;
• the acceleration pedal which is stepped on and manipulated by the foot of the driver;
• a brake independent driving means that enables the brake pedal and the lever to press the booster rod of the brake booster independently of each other;
• and
• an acceleration independent driving means that is installed such that the acceleration pedal and the lever independently open a throttle of the engine,
• wherein the acceleration independent driving means comprises:
• a pair ring that has a form in which two left and right long rings are coupled in parallel, wherein a first button to which a foot acceleration cable is connected is inserted into one ring, and a second button to which a hand acceleration cable is connected is inserted into the other ring;
• a pair ring housing into which the pair ring carrying out a linear motion forward and rearward is inserted, and which is installed to be fixed to the vehicle body;
• and
• a pair ring rod that is integrated with the pair ring, moves into the pair ring housing though a hole formed on a front surface of the pair ring housing to pull a throttle cable, and opens the throttle of the engine.

• a brake independent driving means that enables the brake pedal and the lever to press the booster rod of the brake booster independently of each other;
• and
• an acceleration independent driving means that is installed such that the acceleration pedal and the lever independently open a throttle of the engine;
• and
• a cross brake override means that returns the throttle of the engine, which has been still opened by the hand acceleration means, to the idle position irrespective of a position of the lever, when the driver steps on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle while driving the vehicle with the lever left in the acceleration position,
• wherein the cross brake override means comprises:
• a brake override cable that is attached to aside branch of the booster rod;
• a brake override rake that is connected to the opposite side of the brake override cable, and enables idle return to be performed irrespective of how much the engine throttle is opened by the hand acceleration means;
• a brake override rake rod that is integrated with the brake override rake;
• a brake override rake rod cylinder that serves as a guide when the brake override rake rod moves leftward and rightward, and is installed to be fixed to the vehicle body;
• a brake override compression spring that is interposed between the brake override rake rod and the brake override rake rod cylinder, and pushes the brake override rake such that the brake override rake also returns to an original position, when the side branch of the booster rod returns to an original position;
• a sub-rake that is integrated with the brake override rake, and a vertical width of which is slightly narrower than that of the brake override rake;
• a rake position stabilizing rod that is integrated with the sub-rake;
• a rake position stabilizing rod cylinder that serves as a guide when the rake position stabilizing rod moves leftward and rightward, and is installed to be fixed to the vehicle body;
• and
• acceleration rods that are folded or unfolded according to a movement of the brake override rake.
