<p>An inflatable bladder (76) is positioned between a vehicle accelerator pedal (24) and a planar backing plate (72). Upon inflation, the bladder causes displacement of the accelerator pedal so as to vary the speed of the vehicle motor. Gas is introduced and bled out of the bladder by means of an elongate hose (78) which terminates at a remote location. A manually squeezable bulb (80) is secured to the remote end of the hose to permit air to be manually pumped into the bladder as is needed to displace the accelerator pedal the desired degree. A linkage (48, 64) is provided to secure the backing plate to a clamp (28) which attaches to the vehicle brake pedal (22). The linkage is adjustable to permit movement of the backing plate relative to the brake pedal so that the apparatus may be used on a variety of vehicles wherein the distance between pedals differs.</p> |
