MECCANISMO DI INTERVENTO INSERITO IN UN AUTOVEICOLI FRA IL PEDALE DELL'ACCELERATORE E L'EROGAZIONE DI COMBUSTIBILE, PER LA REGOLAZIONE DELL'EROGAZIONE STESSA.

摘要

An override mechanism is disclosed for connection between the accelerator pedal of a vehicle and the fuel supply for normally enabling the driver to adjust the fuel supply but which can be overriden by speed limiting means. The throttle pedal is connected to move a lever to increase the fuel supply. This lever is pivoted to a clamp member via a shaft. The clamp member is clamped to a shaft whose angular movement adjusts the fuel supply. A spring resists pivoting movement of the lever with respect to the clamp member and therefore movement of the pedal is normally transmitted direct to the clamp and adjust the fuel supply. However, when the speed reaches an upper limit, an actuator pulls on a cable which is clamped to a part rigid with the clamp. Therefore the part moves relative to the cable carrier and the lever against the force of the spring. The clamp therefore closes the fuel supply.
