Combined brake and accelerator pedal - has double pivot for braking when pressed with toe and throttle control with heel

摘要

The combined brake and accelerator pedal is hinged on the floor at its bottom end n2) and presses on the brake linkage (14) with its upper end. The pedal has a horizontal plate (3) secured at its base with the end of the plate lifting a cam (9) to operate the throttle linkage when the heel is pressed down, and with the pedal pivot set behind the heel setting. The pedal provides rapid braking control without having to move the right foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal. Braking control involves the natural movement of pressing the foot down hard.
