Abstract:
L'invention concerne un pédalier pour véhicule automobile, comprenant des pédales d'embrayage (1), de frein (2), et d'accélérateur (3) dont chacune est montée à rotation autour d'un pivot correspondant (X1, X2, X3) entre une position de repos et une position d'actionnement maximal, en passant par une multitude de positions intermédiaires.Le pédalier selon l'invention comprend, entre la pédale d'accélérateur (3) et la pédale de frein (2), une liaison (4) qui place la pédale de frein (2) dans une position intermédiaire ou dans sa position de repos, selon que la pédale d'accélérateur (3) est elle-même, ou non, dans sa position de repos.
Abstract:
An easy-installed auxiliary brake control system for driving practice of an automobile by means of an auxiliary brake actuator and two-component cables. The cables have an outer sheath portion and an inner cable portion. It connects an auxiliary brake actuator to a brake arm of the automobile. The auxiliary brake actuator rests on a floor of a passenger compartment of the automobile, without necessity of being secured to it. When an instructor acts on the auxiliary brake actuator, the brake arm is actuated through relative movement between the inner cable portion and the outer sheath portion of the cables. This system is significantly cheaper than prior arts, especially for installation, and damages on the automobile for installation are minimized.
Abstract:
An automobile accelerator and brake pedal device, which is a brake pedal device comprising a vertically operable brake pad having an auxiliary pad connected thereto, a transversely operable accelerator pad disposed in the auxiliary pad, and an accelerator mechanism driven by the accelerator pad, wherein the accelerator pad is in the form of a plate-like member and chevroned with the intermediate portion bulging outward, the acceleration mechanism being operated by the slope surface of the chevron. Even if the brake pedal (1) is stepped on with the accelerator in its active position, this stepping-on action necessarily causes the accelerator pad (9) to move forward together with the auxiliary pad (3), thereby immediately bringing the accelerator lever (10) back to its original inactive position without any time delay involved as when a different pedal is stepped on, putting off the accelerator, and enabling the brake function to act normally.
Abstract:
A dual control device for actuating the pedals (16, 17, 18) of a vehicle (6). The device comprises three mechanical sensors (2, 3, 4) generating signals representing the actions of a user's feet, an electrical control circuit (37) receiving said signals and using them to control the rotation of three winch drives (22, 23, 24) connected to the respective mechanical pull wires of the pedals (16, 17, 18) so that they can selectively draw said pedals closer to the floor (19) of the vehicle. Each drive is preferably combined with a position sensor (34, 35, 36) having a variable electrical response depending on the position of said drives. Furthermore, the electrical circuit (37) is connected to said position sensors to provide automatic control of the position of the mechanical pull wires (101, 111, 121) slidably mounted in sleeves and connected to the pedals (16, 17, 18), depending on the electrical responses of the position sensors.
