  • Patent number: 6070490
    Abstract: An accelerator pedal module actuated by the driver's foot for controlling the output of a driving engine. The accelerator pedal module includes a friction element for attaining frictional hysteresis directly at a bearing point on which the pedal lever is supported. The number of components required is thus reduced considerably. The accelerator pedal module is contemplated for controlling the output of a driving engine of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5934152
    Abstract: An accelerator pedal modules for a motor vehicle which is actuated by the driver's foot. A sensor is disposed in a common housing together with other components, a restoring spring assembly, a kickdown mechanism and an end switch secured relative to the accelerator pedal and each other. The sensor is disposed in a separate housing, and by a suitable embodiment of the pedal lever, the accelerator pedal module can be adapted to a specific vehicle without modification of the sensor. This makes it possible to produce a standard sensor in large quantities. When the accelerator pedal module is activated the pedal activates the sensor which sends an electrical signal to a controller via electrical lines. The sensor includes a restoring spring which forces the pedal back to its normal rest position. The device includes a friction device which causes a friction in order to apply a force against momentum of the pedal. The controller controls an output of a driving engine.

  • Patent number: 4469166
    Abstract: An air conditioning device has a control member, an electric motor arranged to be operatively connected with the control member and drive the latter, an actuating element arranged to sense air temperature and to actuate the electric motor, an interrupting element for interrupting the connection between the electric motor and the control member, and a manual adjustment member arranged for manually adjusting the control member upon interruption of the connection between the electric motor and the control member.
