Abstract: A control pedal, supported rotatably on a shaft located in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, is biased by a spring toward a free state position against a stop and is biased in the opposite rotary direction by a spring to assist the vehicle operator's effort in depressing the pedal. The spring, having a U-shaped cross section, includes outwardly extending legs that seat within recesses formed at one lateral side on the clutch pedal and at the opposite lateral side near a dash panel.

Abstract: An accelerator pedal assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a pedal member pivotably attached to the floor area of the vehicle and a combination pedal travel limiter and position indicating unit mounted above the pedal member. The combination unit includes a rotary position indicator having a driveshaft extending therefrom to a roller follower, which is mounted upon the driveshaft and which tracks movement of the pedal member. The driveshaft and follower are mounted in a bracket which has integral idle and wide-open throttle stops incorporated therein, such that over-travel of the pedal member will not cause over-travel of the rotary position indicator.
