  • Patent number: 5103946
    Abstract: A hand operated automobile brake and accelerator operation assembly for the handicapped can be readily transferred from car to car without tools and is adaptable to various models of cars. It is installed by clamping onto the brake pedal shaft with manually operable wing nuts or the like as the sole fixed connecting bracket on the car. The brake pedal and accelerator pedal are respectively operated by pushing and pulling by hand an operating rod to move an operating lever fulcrumed on a pivot axis fixed relative to the brake pedal shaft. This operating lever moves an accelerator operating shaft into contact with the accelerator pedal to depress it as the hand operated rod is pulled. Conversely when pushed the hand operated rod depresses the brake pedal and release the accelerator. To accommodate different car models an accelerator operating shaft has a manually operated lock to fix its length, and the acclerator assembly distance from the brake is adjustable.
