  • Patent number: 11953931
    Abstract: A pedal assembly includes a housing having a cavity. A pedal arm is at least partially received in the cavity. The pedal arm is configured to move within the cavity relative to the housing. At least two pivot levers are positioned within the cavity and configured to pivot upon a contact by the pedal arm. A spring retainer is formed in the housing. The spring retainer has a spring positioned therein. A spring member is disposed about the spring retainer and is moveable about the spring retainer. At least two sensors are attached to the spring housing. At least two sensor assemblies are positioned in the housing and configured to sense an amount of travel of the at least two sensors. When a load is applied to the pedal pad, the pedal arm contacts the at least two pivot members pivoting the pivot members and moving the spring housing wherein the sensors movement is sensed by the respective at least two sensor assemblies indicative of the amount of depression of the pedal pad.
