Abstract: A hand control device is provided for operating the accelerator and brake controls of a motor vehicle. The device comprises a brake control member and an accelerator control member, mounting clamps connected to one end of each member for securing the members to a respective control, a handle member pivotally connected to the other end of each control member, and a flexible support loop passing around the vehicle steering column for receiving and supporting one of the control members. Rotation of the handle member in a first direction, with the connection between the handle member and the accelerator control member acting as a fulcrum, operates the brake control. Rotation of the handle member in a second direction opposite to the first direction, with the connection member between the handle member and the brake control member acting as a fulcrum, operates the accelerator control.

Abstract: A hand control device for operating the accelerator and brake of a motor vehicle includes brake and accelerator control rods for extending from the respective accelerator and brake pedals of a motor vehicle to below the vehicle steering wheel. Clamps connected to one end of each control rod secure the control rods to respective accelerator and brake pedals or pedal stalks and a handle member is pivotally connected to the other end of each control rod. Rotation of the handle member in a first direction, and with the connection between the handle member and the accelerator control rode acting as a fulcrum, causes longitudinal movement of the brake control rod, depression of the brake pedal, and operation of the brake.
