摘要： A brake cover ( 18 ) and shaft ( 24 ) rotate with a pedal lever ( 20 ) relative to a central section ( 14 ) of the housing ( 12 ) rotate a pedal gear ( 76 ). The pedal gear ( 76 ) rotates a sensor gear ( 74 ) to rotate a sensor arm ( 46 ) about a sensor axis ( 48 ). The sensor arm (46) supports sensor members (58) that move along sensor bands (50) to generate an electrical signal. As the brake cover ( 18 ) rotates with the pedal lever ( 20 ) it uncoils coil springs (84) to cause brake shoes (80) to pivot radially outward about respective posts ( 82 ) frictionally engage the interior surface ( 78 ) of the central section ( 14 ) to thereby provide a resistance or hysteresis to movement of the pedal lever ( 20 ). One feature resides in at least two elements ( 74 , 76 ) to interconnect the sensor arm ( 46 ) and the pedal arm ( 20 ) to reduce space while maintaining the requisite movement of the sensor members ( 58 ) over the sensor bands ( 50 ) and the other feature resides in spacing the braking mechanism axially from the sensor arm ( 46 ) in radially overlapping relationship to one another along the pedal axis (A).

摘要： A pedal assembly includes a housing (16) and a pedal arm (14) pivotally connected to the housing (16) with a first end supporting a pedal pad (12) and a second end forming a pedal pivot arm (26) . The pedal pivot arm (26) has at least one cam lobe (38) extending therefrom and the housing (16) has a cylindrical collar portion (30) recessed in the housing (16) for receiving and retaining at least one coil spring (24) . The interaction of the spring (24) between the pedal pivot arm (26) and the collar portion (30) generates a hysteresis effect. The collar portion (30) has a notch (32) extending through the side wall of the housing (16) . The coil spring (24) has a first distal end (34) seated in the notch (32) and a second distal end (36) that is in bias contact with the cam lobe (38) . The coil spring (24) is forced into frictional contact with the side wall of the collar portion (30) when the pedal arm (14) is pivoted from a rest position to an operative position to reduce the spring force of the coil spring (24) on the pedal arm (14) .

摘要： A vehicle control pedal apparatus (12) includes a support (18) adapted to be mounted to a vehicle structure (20) and an adjustable pedal assembly (22) having a pedal arm (14) that is moveable in fore and aft directions with respect to the support (18) . A pivot (24) pivotally supports the adjustable pedal assembly (22) with respect to the support (18) and defines a pivot axis (26) . The control pedal apparatus (12) further includes an electronic throttle control (28) attached to the support (18) for controlling an engine throttle (30) . The apparatus (12) is characterized by the electronic throttle control (28) being responsive to the pivot (24) for providing a signal (32) that corresponds to pedal arm position as the pedal arm (14) pivots about the pivot axis (26) between rest and applied positions. Thus, the control pedal apparatus (12) can adjust pedal arm position in fore and aft directions without having to move the electronic throttle control unit (28) along with the pedal arm (14) . Additionally, the electronic throttle control (28) is responsive to the pivot (24) about which the adjustable pedal assembly (22) rotates.
