Abstract: An arrangement for adjusting the pedals of a motor vehicle in relation to the seat of the driver, in which a movable carriage carries the pedals and terminal members of associated actuating mechanisms coupled to each. The carriage can be positioned by an adjusting spindle, and a threaded sleeve is provided for each pedal and is movably mounted on the carriage. The carriage and the threaded sleeve are uniformly displaceable by a common drive. A threaded rod passes through each threaded sleeve associated with it, and is connected at one end to linkage leading to the pedals. The threaded rods are substantially stationary in axial direction thereof. They are all rotated uniformly for adjusting the threaded sleeves so that linkages associated with the pedals remain in position when the carriage is displaced. Driving elements are connected to the other ends of the threaded rods and are driven in the same manner as the adjusting spindle.

Abstract: A safety pedal for powered vehicles in which an accelerator pedal acts in opposite direction to the brake mechanism. The accelerator pedal is located to one side adjacent to the brake pedal and is connected with the accelerator mechanism by a pivoted yoke mounted on the brake pedal. On one side of the pivot axis is a feeler arm which contacts the accelerator pedal. An actuating member extends on the other side of the pivot axis and is connected to the accelerator mechanism.
