Pedalanordnung für Kraftfahrzeuge

摘要

A pedal apparatus provides quick and secure assembly of a pedal lever and an interconnecting mechanism. The pedal apparatus includes the pedal lever (18) and a fixed end (32) of a cylindrical member (30) is attached to the pedal lever. An interconnecting mechanism (40) is disposed between the device to be actuated by the operator's efforts on the pedal lever and has a first end attached the cylindrical member. A snap lock (50) is provided having a body portion (52) disposed adjacent to a free end of the cylindrical member. The snap lock also includes at least one retaining leg (54) projecting outward from the body portion toward the pedal lever. The retaining leg (54) has a predetermined length and width to allow installation of the first end of the interconnecting mechanism (40) onto the cylindrical member (30) and retention thereafter of the first end of the interconnecting means (40) between a tip (56) of the retaining leg (54) and the pedal lever (18).
