  • Brake pedal with self-aligning bracket
    Patent number: 5690000
    Abstract: A brake pedal assembly includes a pedal arm formed from one-piece of aluminum bar stock which is pivotally mounted by a bushing holder fixed on the pedal arm by external upsetting. The pedal arm includes two integral projections which receive the foot pad plate that is secured on the pedal arm by staking of the integral projections. This enables the assembly of a brake pedal without welding of material and facilitates the use of aluminum material in fabricating the pedal arm.
