Abstract: A brake pedal assembly for applying the brakes of an automotive vehicle comprises an elongated brake lever pivotally mounted on a bracket at a point adjacent the upper end of the brake lever permitting swinging movement of the lower end of the lever forwardly to a brake-applying position and rearwardly to a brake-release position. The brake lever has a head on the upper end and a pedal on the lower end. A brake lever displacement limiter comprises a tie-bar mounted on the bracket to provide an abutment positioned to be struck by the head of the lever to block rearward movement of the lower end of the lever beyond the brake-release position.

Abstract: Automobile emergency signaling apparatus in the nature of a kit includes an envelope having a transparent front panel. A HELP sign is mounted to an upper portion of the front panel apprising approaching motorists of an emergency situation and a plurality of trouble signs which are sized to fit in the envelope below the HELP sign indicate the specific nature of the disabled motorist's problem. To use the kit, the disabled motorist positions the applicable trouble sign in the envelope so that it faces the front panel of the envelope below the HELP sign thereon. The kit is then mounted to the automobile or other support using a magnetic strip attached to the rear panel of the envelope so that the HELP and operative trouble signs face approaching motorists. The combination of the two different signs together describe the disabled driver's particular problem and instruct the approaching motorists of the best way to alleviate the problem.
