  • Pedal rods and a method of making the same
    Patent number: 5456137
    Abstract: A method for forming a shaft with protrusions applies vertical pressure to the shaft to deformably displace material from the shaft to form one or more protrusions. The protrusions are angularly spaced on and circumferentially aligned relative to the peripheral surface of the shaft. The shaft may be of any diameter, but typically a diameter of three-eighths of an inch, with the protrusions forming a larger diameter of typically one-half of an inch.
