  • Sequential operator for clutch and brake
    Patent number: 4014419
    Abstract: In a wheeled industrial vehicle a single foot pedal operates to disengage an engine from its transmission and to apply the brakes. This function is accomplished by means of a special mechanical linkage including a ratio arm to which a force is applied by the foot pedal, the arm acting first to apply slight braking, second to disengage the engine from the transmission when the brake system begins to generate resistance to further application of braking force and third to apply full braking force when the engine has been disengaged from the transmission.
