  • Patent number: 6173625
    Abstract: The position of the pad end (18 and 118) of the first pedal lever (14 and 118) may be adjusted by pivoting an adjustment link (22 and 122) relative to a support bracket (12 and 112) as a drag link (26 and 126) pivots relative to an actuator link (28 and 128). Simultaneously with this adjustment of the operational axis of the first pedal lever (14 and 114), a control link (40 and 140) adjusts the position of the operational axis (40 and 140) of a second pedal lever (32 and 132) as a guide (38 and 138), in form of a link supported by the bracket (12 and 112) guides movement of the operational axis (40 and 140) of the second pedal lever (32 and 132) during the adjustment thereof.
