Ergonomic Range Accommodating Adjustable Foot Pedal
US Patent:
6170355, Jan 9, 2001
Filed:
Jan 28, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/238709
Inventors:
William A. Fay - East Berlin PA
Assignee:
United Defense, L.P. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
G05G 114
US Classification:
74512
Abstract:
The invention provides an easily adjustable foot-operated pedal assembly, such as a brake pedal for use in heavy equipment, that can be placed in multiple positions to accommodate people of differing heights and body shapes. The pedal is mounted in an assembly including a dual linkage operating apparatus having one element of that linkage that freely rotates about a shaft. A second link of the pedal linkage is connected to a fixed link through an adjustment mechanism. The fixed link is fixedly mounted to the same shaft as the pedal link. The adjustment mechanism incorporates a latch that has multiple settings yielding three or more pedal positions. The pedal is urged upwardly to effect adjustment to raise the pedal. A latch bar of the pedal assembly is urged up to allow lowering of the pedal.
