  • Patent number: 6275024
    Abstract: In a device for electronically transforming displacement of automobile accelerator lever, an accelerator pedal and a return member are provided, the latter of which returns the accelerator lever back to an original position. A detector device is provided to detect a displacement of the accelerator lever to generate an electrical signal. The detector device has a magnetic plunger which mechanically moves in association with the accelerator lever, and further has primary and secondary coils to surround the magnetic plunger so that the magnetic plunger mechanically moves therethrough. The primary coil is energized to detect an electromotive force produced from the secondary coil. A housing encloses the plunger, and the primary and secondary coils. An engagement piece is fixed to the accelerator lever to actuate a switch which detects whether or not the accelerator pedal is stepped.
