  • Cable operated releasable brake pedal assembly
    Patent number: 5916330
    Abstract: A brake pedal assembly includes a two-piece pedal having an upper arm 44 and a lower arm 46 pivotably mounted with respect to each other and drivingly engaging a brake actuator piston rod 26. The upper arm 44 is cable connected to a brake actuator assembly 20 and is ineffective to transmit compressive loads longitudinal of the vehicle. Imposition of intrusive forces longitudinal of the vehicle can pivot the lower arm 46 upwardly toward a horizontal position.
