COMBINED FOOT OPERATED THROTTLE AND BRAKE

摘要

A combined foot operated throttle and brake for motor vehicles in which the linkage is such that the normal braking action of straightening the knee is used for applying the brake while the normal throttling operation of pivoting the foot at the ankle is used for operating the throttle. The linkage is adjustable to fit the specific requirements of an individual driver and incorporates a safety feature in that the throttle is closed when the brakes are applied.
