Patent ID: 7530289

Claim:
A manual adjustable pedal assembly comprising: a throttle pedal assembly having a mounting bracket, a swing plate pivotally attached to said mounting bracket, a pedal arm pivotally secured to said swing plate at a second throttle pivot axis which is below said first throttle pivot axis, a pedal pad secured to a lower end of said pedal arm, and a throttle pedal adjustment mechanism for adjusting a position of said throttle pedal pad and operatively connected to said swing plate third throttle pivot axis; a brake pedal assembly having a brake pedal mounting bracket, a brake pedal arm pivotally supported by said brake pedal mounting bracket at a first brake pedal pivot axis, a brake pedal pad operatively secured to a lower end of said brake pedal arm, and a brake pedal adjustment mechanism, for adjusting a position of said brake pedal pad; a manual adjusting means having a support bracket, a rotatable adjustment means supported by said adjusting means support bracket, an outer ring gear disposed in a center portion of said rotatable adjustment means, a gear support member extending from said adjusting means support bracket, a first inner gear and a second inner gear operatively supported on said gear support member and operatively in communication with said outer ring gear, and an integrally formed stopping means to limit travel of said rotatable adjustment means; wherein said rotatable adjustment means is a wheel; said integrally formed stopping means including said wheel having a solid interior surface that includes an integrally formed track with a spiral shape, a groove in a sidewall of said support bracket, a follower pin extending radially through said groove in said side wall of said support bracket, said follower pin being initially located at an outermost edge of said spiral track and dimensioned to travel through said integrally formed track and said groove in said side wall of said support bracket as said wheel is rotated, until said pin is stopped at an inner end of said spiral track to limit rotational movement of said wheel; a throttle drive cable, wherein one end of said throttle drive cable is operatively secured to said first inner gear, and the other end of said drive cable is secured to said throttle pedal adjustment mechanism, for transmitting the rotary motion of said rotatable adjustment means to said throttle pedal adjustment mechanism; and a brake drive cable, wherein one end of said brake drive cable is operatively secured to said second inner gear, and the other end of said drive cable is secured to said brake pedal adjustment mechanism, for transmitting the rotary motion of said rotatable adjustment means to said brake pedal adjustment mechanism for simultaneous adjustment of said brake pedal and said throttle pedal.
