  • Manually operated apparatus for controlling the brake and accelerator of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 4998983
    Abstract: A hand control apparatus for a motor vehicle provides for the adjustment of the braking force independently from the adjustment of the throttle force. A telescoping member actuates the brake pedal upon the downward movement of an operating arm. Upward movement of the operating arm rotates a pivot assembly to actuate the accelerator pedal. The fluid operation of the apparatus is facilitated by joint connections which are universally pivotable.
