  • Patent number: 11402864
    Abstract: A pedal for a vehicle is provided, which includes a support, a pedal arm mounted to the support, and a rocker mounted to the support. The rocker comprises a first rocker arm and a second rocker arm. The pedal also includes a return spring. The pedal is built in such a manner that when the second rocker arm is pressed with a friction section against a friction surface of the pedal arm, when the pedal arm is forced into a direction of the maximum deflection position of the pedal arm. In order to provide a pedal for a vehicle of alternative design, the pedal arm, the rocker and the return spring are built and positioned to each other in such a manner that an external actuating force is continuously and steadily increasing in a first section of an actuating path and is continuously and steadily decreasing in a second section of the actuating path until a predefined deflection position is reached.

  • Patent number: 6412364
    Abstract: An accelerator pedal sensor/sender has a housing, a pedal lever connected at a first end portion with a pedal plate and supported at an opposite second end portion in the housing, and an electrical rotation sensor comprising a sensor plate and an actuating element that is driven by the pedal lever. The pedal lever is formed as a single piece of plastic material, including two perpendicular pins, to form a first connecting element that is directly connected with a second connecting element of an actuating element.
