摘要： An electronically controlled pedal assembly with hysteresis includes a mounting bracket and pedal arm and a pedal support arm extending therebetween. The pedal arm is pivotally mounted to the pedal support arm at a pedal arm pivot point. The pedal support arm is pivotally mounted to the mounting bracket at a pedal support arm pivot point. A hysteresis generating means is operatively supported by the support arm at the pedal support arm pivot point, and includes a torsion spring and a friction spacer having a cylindrical portion and an outer helical flange. The friction spacer is disposed within the torsion spring such that the outer flange of the friction spacer fits between the coils of the coil spring. Rotation of the support arm creates a frictional hysteresis force between the torsion spring and the friction spacer that is translated back through the pedal arm.

摘要： A brake pedal assembly, for use in a vehicle, includes a support bracket, a first and second side walls extending outwardly from the support bracket. The first side wall includes an integral switch portion having a pair of generally parallel arcuate slots. A pedal arm, having a pair of contact posts positioned to extend through the pair of arcuate slots, is pivotally mounted between the first and second side walls. A conductive strip interconnects each of the pair of contact posts. The support bracket further includes a switch cover plate enclosing the integral switch portion of the first side wall. An electronic switch is disposed on an inside surface of the cover plate, and comes into electrical communication with the conductive strip as the contact posts travel within the arcuate slot in response to movement of the pedal arm, to send an electrical signal to an associated vehicle component.

摘要： A support bracket with an integral switch for a brake pedal assembly for a vehicle is provided. The support bracket includes a generally planar mounting face having at least one aperture for securing the support bracket to the vehicle. The brake pedal assembly includes a pivot means a pedal arm and a pedal link pivotally mounted onto the pivot means, and operatively connected to the pedal arm. At least one pair of contact posts is disposed on the pedal link and positioned to extend therethrough the corresponding arcuate slot in the integral switch housing. The support bracket further includes a switch cover plate enclosing the integral switch portion of the first side wall. A switching means is operatively disposed on an inside surface of the cover plate, and is in electrical communication with the contact posts as the contact posts travel within the arcuate slot in response to movement of the pedal', arm, to electrically engages the switching means and sends an electrical signal to an associated vehicle component.
