PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simpler, more cost-effective, and more reliable vehicle pedal assembly with a hysteresis/friction-generating assembly.SOLUTION: A vehicle pedal assembly 10 with a rotatable pedal 150 is disclosed. A hysteresis assembly includes a friction device and plunger, and first and second springs. The first spring exerts a force against the friction plunger that forces the friction device into frictional contact with a housing to generate and transfer a resistance force to the pedal. The first spring also exerts a force against the pedal 150 when a foot force is removed from the pedal 150 with and without the movement of the friction device and without the force of the second spring. The second spring exerts a force against the friction device when the foot force is removed to return the pedal 150 to idle without the force of the first spring.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
