VARIABLE RATIO BRAKE PEDAL

摘要

A control pedal assembly includes an eccentric curve as an actuator surface at one end of a pedal arm and a control member includes a first lobe with a roller that rides on the actuator surface and a second lobe that receives a connector ro d to a control device to be controlled by the pedal. The eccentric curve changes th e stroke ration between the pedal stroke and the connector rod stroke as the pedal is depressed. Designers can simply and efficiently vary the stroke ratio as desired by selecting an appropriate curve for the actuator surface.
