  • Publication number: 20220269299
    Abstract: The pedal assembly includes a support, a pedal mounted pivoting around a pivot axle of the support and an articulated connection, the connection being configured to connect the pedal to a transverse return bar connected to a control device, provided to be mounted on the other side of the vehicle, such that the application of a functional torque for driving the pedal around the axle from a raised configuration to a depressed configuration drives the rotation of the bar. The pedal assembly includes a member for adjusting a functional clearance of the pedal, the member being configured to exert a resistive torque on the pivot axle of the pedal in a direction opposite to the direction of the functional torque, which tends to disappear during the depression of the pedal.
