Abstract: A pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes: a pedal arm mounted on a vehicle body by a hinge shaft and having one end connected with a pedal and the other end where a rack gear is formed; a link arm having a pinion gear at one end that meshes with the rack gear to pivot on a center shaft of the pinion gear with respect to the pedal arm, and having the other end where a locking pin is formed; and a plate mounted on the vehicle body, the plate having a sliding groove where the locking pin of the link arm is inserted, in which ridges and depressions are formed at regular intervals in the sliding groove so that the locking pin slides step by step while being locked to the ridges and depressions.

Abstract: A structure of a shift lever that changes to a manual mode. The structure includes a shift lever that has a protrusion formed to a horizontal side and a base spaced from the shift lever to allow the protrusion to reach the base during horizontal movement of the shift lever. A G-return to which the protrusion is coupled is mounted on the base to be able to turn and a knob that is connected to one end of a knob lever pivotably mounted on the base with the other end of the knob lever facing the shift lever, slides with the horizontal movement of the shift lever. The conversion to a manual mode is sensed from the sliding of the knob and change to the manual mode is controlled by turning of the G-return.

Abstract: A non-contact shift lock apparatus that includes a coil and a plunger in a housing. More specifically, the plunger moves downward in the housing when power is supplied to the coil. A shift lever locks when the plunger moves downward and unlocks when the plunger moves upward. Further, when power is supplied to the coil, the plunger is magnetized by a magnetic field and a magnetic force focus is formed at the plunger where a magnetic force is concentrated. The plunger is moved downward by magnetic force balance between a center of the magnetic field generated by the coil and the magnetic force focus, so that the position where the plunger moves downward to is determined by the position where the magnetic force focus is formed.

The apparatus further includes a coupling portion disposed on a bottom of the switch body, formed by a conductor, and coupled to a fixation bracket. Additionally, an earth member includes a base formed by the conductor and is disposed in a lower part of the inner space of the switch body, and coupled on the top of the coupling portion and a clamping bar respectively extended upward at both sides of the base and coupled with an earth terminal formed on the bottom of the relay board.

Abstract: An active control system and method for an accelerator pedal effort is disclosed, in which the pedal effort of the accelerator pedal is varied actively in accordance with a driving mode and a parking mode of a vehicle.

Abstract: An active control method of a pedal effort of an accelerator pedal is disclosed, in which the pedal effort of the accelerator pedal is varied actively in accordance to whether or not the vehicle is driving in the rain. More specifically, a processor is configured to determine whether a vehicle is driving in rain via shifting stage input signals and an input signal from a rain sensor when the vehicle turns on; and then increase a current pedal effort of the accelerator pedal to a preset pedal effort when the vehicle is determined to be in rain-driving state.

Abstract: An accelerator pedal apparatus, in which pedal effort can be varied through length variation of a spring. Stroke of a pedal arm can be varied in accordance with inclination and body type of driver.

Abstract: A pedal assembly protects a driver, in which a pedal arm 50 is prevented from pivoting to a driver and forced to pivot forward away from the driver in a collision or a rear-end collision, so that it is possible to maximally preclude an injury of the leg of the driver due to the pedal arm 50.

Abstract: Disclosed is a shift lever for a vehicle transmission, which includes a rod provided in a mounting space to move linearly and having an upper part having an upper inclined surface and successive engaging grooves. An engaging protrusion is provided on an inner wall of a support section such that, when the rod moves, the engaging protrusion is engaged with one of the engaging grooves to afford a brisk, clear operation action when changing gears. A button is provided such that one end thereof extends to the inclined surface of the upper part of the rod, and another end thereof is exposed to the outside to enable that end to be pressed down to push the rod down.

Abstract: A shift lever operation structure may include a shift plate, which moves along with a shift lever so that either manual or automatic mode is selected, and has an engaging part. An engaging plate may have a connection part corresponding to the engaging part so that, during the automatic mode, the engaging plate engages with the shift plate, and during the manual mode, the engaging plate is disengaged from the shift plate. An elastic member may be assembled with the connection part of the engaging plate such that the elastic member is deformed by the insertion of the engaging part into the connection part.

Abstract: A device for preventing an inward shifting of a brake pedal during a collision. The device includes a mounting bracket. A pedal housing is combined with the mounting bracket such that the pedal housing is movable in a rearwards direction from the mounting bracket. A pedal arm is hinge-coupled at upper and middle parts thereof with the pedal housing and a push rod, respectively. A unit for preventing the inward shifting of the pedal arm has a separating plate which, as the pedal housing is moved rearwards, presses against a fixing pin to decouple the fixing pin from the pedal arm, enabling the pedal arm to turn outwards about a hinge point at the middle part.

Abstract: An engage lever that connects a shift lever and a gear shift cable of a gearbox of a vehicle. The engage lever is directly connected on a body of a bearing block disposed at a lower portion of the engage lever.

Abstract: A protective device of an automobile driver can prevent driver's legs from being injured by a brake pedal as the brake pedal forcibly rotates forward when a collision accident occurs.

Abstract: A coupling structure between a shift lever and a knob for a vehicle that includes an insert which is formed at a center thereof with an insert aperture and fixed within a knob, and of which a lower end is formed to protrude from the knob to the exterior. A shift lever rod is inserted into and coupled to the insert aperture and a skirt is formed to enclose outer peripheral surfaces of the shift lever rod and the insert. In addition, a plurality of elastic members are formed along the outer peripheral surface of the insert to protrude radially outward toward the knob by a predetermined angle and are formed to be elastically deformed and opened radially outward when the shift lever rod is coupled to the knob.

Abstract: An accelerator position sensor (APS) includes a transmitting coil generating a magnetic field, a coupler controlling the magnetic field generated from the transmitting coil, a receiving coil receiving the magnetic field generated from the transmitting coil to generate a predetermined frequency, and a signal processor calculating rotation information of the coupler using the frequency received from the receiving coil and outputting displacement values of an accelerator pedal. With the APS, a guarantee signal can be generated only through the receiving coil and precise measuring values can be achieved.

Abstract: An accelerator pedal system includes a pedal control unit that receives a vehicle speed signal and a signal from a switch, and compares the two signals. If the vehicle speed exceeds a preselected speed, the pedal control unit outputs a control signal to control a reaction force of an accelerator pedal on the basis of the preselected speed and a selected mode. The system also includes a reaction device that receives the control signal and controls the accelerator pedal according to the selected mode. The reaction device includes an actuator for generating power on the basis of the control signal, a power delivery unit for selectively transmitting the power generated by the actuator, and a wheel for receiving the power from the power delivery unit and transmitting the power to the accelerator pedal.
