Abstract:
1. A pedal system comprising: a support base; a first lever comprising a root portion and a terminal portion formed such that the terminal portion interfaces with the root portion at a bend in the first lever of a first predetermined angle, the root portion of the first lever being pivotally mounted to the support base such that the first lever is rotatable in a first plane of rotation about an axis of rotation at or near the support base; a second lever comprising a root portion and a terminal portion formed such that the terminal portion interfaces with the root portion at a bend in the second lever of a second predetermined angle, the root portion of the second lever being pivotally mounted to the support base such that the second lever is rotatable in a second plane of rotation about the axis of rotation, wherein the second plane of rotation is substantially parallel to the first plane of rotation and wherein the first plane of rotation is separate from the second plane of rotation; a first pedal configured to be engaged by a foot of a user to rotate the first lever about the axis of rotation, the first pedal being attached to the first lever to extend therefrom in a direction that is (i) away from the second lever, and (ii) substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, the first pedal being attached to the first lever such that the position of the first pedal is adjustable along the terminal portion of the first lever; a second pedal configured to be engaged by a foot of the user to rotate the second lever about the axis of rotation, the second pedal being attached to the second lever to extend therefrom in a direction that is (i) away from the first lever, and (ii) substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, the second pedal being attached to the second lever such that the position of the second pedal is adjustable along the terminal portion of the second lever separate from the adjustment of the first pedal along the terminal portion of the first lever, wherein, if no external force is applied to the first lever, the first lever is held at a default rotational orientation about the axis of rotation and, if no external force is applied to the second lever, the second lever is held at the same default rotational orientation about the axis of rotation, the pedal system further comprising an adjustment assembly that enables the user to adjust the same default rotational orientation of the first and the second lever.
