  • Patent number: 4353430
    Abstract: In an arrangement for fitting a pedal assembly to a vehicle, at least one pedal is movably mounted on a bracket attached to a foot control panel which is connectable as a unit to the lower forward portion of a compartment space in the vehicle so that a base plate of the foot control panel covers either of two openings in the cowl panel on each side of the longitudinal center line of the vehicle. The same vehicle body can then be used for left-hand as well as right-hand drive vehicles, and mounting and service of the pedal assembly is easier.

  • Patent number: 4299138
    Abstract: A steering wheel for vehicles, comprising a steering wheel rim to which is firmly connected a steering wheel hub which is arranged for attaching the steering wheel to the upper portion of a steering shaft installed in a vehicle, the steering wheel hub mainly comprising a spoke hub and an inner hub which are concentric and engage with each other, being mutually displaceable in an axial direction. The spoke hub is firmly connected to the steering wheel rim, and the inner hub is intended to be rigidly mounted on the steering shaft. The spoke hub and the inner hub are connected to each other via a locking means which locks the respective hubs radially and allows mutual axial adjustment of the hubs, whereby the steering wheel can be caused to assume alternative positions in height relative to the steering shaft.
