Abstract: 1,147,200. Combined brake and accelerator pedal. V. PANTO. 12 Dec., 1966 [14 Dec., 1965], No. 55450/66. Heading B7H. In a device for operating the accelerator and brake of a vehicle comprising a pedal A movable in a single direction from A to A<SP>1</SP> to operate the accelerator and from A<SP>1</SP> to A<SP>2</SP> to first disconnect the accelerator and then actuate the brake, the accelerator is disconnected by an interrupter actuated by movement of a movable floorboard W. In normal operation the toe of a driver rests on the pedal A and his heel rests on and depresses the movable floorboard W thereby pivoting the interrupter N<SP>1</SP> through link T<SP>1</SP> and bellcrank B<SP>5</SP>/B<SP>6</SP> to the broken line position shown in Fig. 2 in which a roller R<SP>2</SP> engages the end K of a sliding element S4 to control a throttle valve. On depressing the pedal A between positions A and A<SP>1</SP> a lever D pivots about its centre pushing a rod D<SP>2</SP>, which engages a bracket L on an arm E to the right pivoting the arm E anticlockwise. This pivoting actuates by means of a cable in a flexible sheath G an element X, which has rails V<SP>1</SP>, V<SP>2</SP> (Fig. 3, not shown) slidable in the interrupter N<SP>1</SP>, movement of the element X pivoting a lever Y<SP>1</SP> about its pivot P1 and hence sliding through the interrupter an element U which carries the roller R<SP>2</SP> at its end. The roller R<SP>2</SP> pushes the sliding element S<SP>4</SP>, pivoting an arm Z about its pivot I and actuating an engine throttle valve through a cable secured to the end of the arm Z. At the end of the acceleration phase additional resistance is felt at the pedal as the arm Z engages a spring F<SP>4</SP> and a roller R is engaged by the end of a sleeve H mounted on the rod D<SP>2</SP>. On further depression of the pedal A the roller R pivots the rod downwards about its pivot D<SP>1</SP> thereby disengaging the end of the rod from the bracket L permitting the throttle valve to close and then a brake operating rod C on the lever D actuates a master cylinder C<SP>1</SP> to operate the brakes. On hard braking the driver's heel is raised from the floorboard W permitting it to rise and hence disengage the roller R<SP>2</SP> from the element S<SP>4</SP> to allow the throttle to close.

The friction linings have a stable coefficient of friction under varying temperature pressure and relative velocity conditions. A higher coefficient of friction may be obtained by adding small quantities of colloidal silica. The friction linings are made by mixing cotton, hemp, or synthetic fibre with activated carbon and adding small quantities of an adhering agent e.g. aluminium sulphate, a binding agent e.g. polyethylene oxide and an accelerant e.g. rosin.
