Patent ID: 6990875

Claim:
A pedal box for a motor vehicle, comprising a clutch pedal ( 1 ), a brake pedal ( 2 ) and an accelerator pedal ( 3 ) that are mounted to respectively rotate about first, second and third pivots (X 1 , X 2 , X 3 ) that are parallel to one another, said clutch pedal ( 1 ), brake pedal ( 2 ) and accelerator pedal ( 3 ) at each moment adopting either a rest position, or a position of maximum actuation, or an intermediate position somewhere between the rest position and the position of maximum actuation, and means for applying an elastic torque in a first direction of rotation (S 1 ) to urge said clutch pedal ( 1 ) toward a first rest position, said brake pedal ( 2 ) toward a second rest position and accelerator pedal ( 3 ) toward a third rest position, characterized in that said means for applying said elastic torque comprises, a first link ( 4 ) located between said accelerator pedal ( 3 ) and the brake pedal ( 2 ) that places the brake pedal ( 2 ) in an intermediate position or said second rest position depending on whether or not the accelerator pedal ( 3 ) is in said third rest position, said brake pedal ( 2 ) having a lower lever arm ( 21 ) that extends between said second pivot (X 2 ) and a brake pad ( 20 ), said accelerator pedal ( 3 ) having an lower lever arm ( 31 ) and an upper lever arm ( 32 ) that extend one on each side of said third pivot (X 3 ), said lower lever arm ( 31 ) bearing an accelerator pad ( 30 ), and said first link ( 4 ) having a first finger ( 41 ) borne by said upper lever arm ( 32 ) of the accelerator pedal ( 3 ) that is parallel to the third pivot (X 3 ) that transmits to said lower lever arm ( 31 ) of the brake pedal ( 2 ) a torque tat is directed in the opposite direction to the first direction (S 1 ) when the accelerator pedal ( 3 ) is in said third rest position.
