Abstract:
1. An accelerator pedal malfunction elimination apparatus comprising: a brake arm having a brake pedal affixed to one end thereof and an opposite end thereof attached to a pivot for performing a braking operation by a rotary movement; an accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member comprising an acceleration pedal affixed to one end thereof, a fulcrum pin inserted into an intermediate portion of the acceleration pedal stopping force transmission member, an accelerator wire affixed to an opposite end of the accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member, an accelerator linking mechanism for transmitting a force generated by depressing the accelerator pedal to the accelerator wire and ceasing the transmission of the force generated by depressing the accelerator pedal to the accelerator wire when the accelerator pedal has been depressed past a specified point and a pedal linking mechanism for transmitting the force generated by depressing the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal after the accelerator pedal has been depressed past the specified point, wherein the brake arm has a bend formed therein and a fitting is provided on the brake arm adjacent to the bend and extends to a side of the accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member, a pillar body is affixed to the fitting, a suspension pin is laterally placed in an upper portion of the pillar body, a stepping force conversion suspended body rotatably suspended from the suspension pin and having the fulcrum pin placed laterally in a pedal side of a protruding portion which is formed at a lower end of the stepping force conversion suspended body, the accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member includes a first rising member rotatably attached to the fulcrum pin at the pedal side of the protruding portion, a return spring is attached to the first rising member to return the first rising member to an initial position when the accelerator pedal is released from a depressed position, a second rising member has a base end rotatably attached to the protruding portion of the stepping force conversion suspended body at a side opposite to the pedal side, the accelerator linking mechanism includes an accelerator linking member provided in an intermediate portion of the second rising member and a movable member attached to the first rising member for locking onto or unlocking from the accelerator linking member in accordance with a rotation angle of the first rising member and the pedal linking mechanism includes a guide member through which the stepping force conversion suspended body is inserted and an end of the guide member abuts a chassis wall, a linking connection member connecting the suspension pin and the first rising member to link both in accordance with the rotation angle of the first rising member, a conversion fitting is supported by a bearing provided in an intermediate portion of the stepping force conversion suspended body, a conversion fitting rotating member is capable of rotating the conversion fitting by abutting the conversion fitting when the linking connection member rotates and a lock fitting is rotatably suspended from the conversion fitting to allow a lower locking portion thereof to be locked onto or unlocked from a notch portion of the guide member.
