Patent ID: 7717012

Claim:
An electronic organ accelerator pedal, comprising: a housing; a foot plate wherein one end is coupled with the housing by a hinge and another end is disposed to be moved in an up and down direction of the housing by driver's force on the foot plate; rotation means disposed to be rotated inside the housing in conjunction with operation of the foot plate; elastic means supported by the rotation means and an inner side of the housing to apply restoring force to the rotation means; a cover coupled with the housing to cover an opening at one side of the housing, said cover having a center protrusion formed at one side of the cover to be inserted in the rotation means and to serve as a rotating center; and a sensor coupled with the other side of the housing to provide outputs based on operation of the rotation means; wherein said rotation means includes: a rotation arm having a cylinder with a protrusion hole and front and rear arms protruding from an outer surface of the cylinder, the center protrusion of the cover being inserted in the protrusion hole; a carrier disposed to penetrate a connecting hole in said housing wherein an upper end of the carrier is coupled with the foot plate and a lower end of the carrier is coupled with the rear arm of the rotation arm; a spring plate disposed to be coupled with the front arm of the rotation arm to support the elastic means; and a friction shoe wherein one end is coupled with the front arm of the rotation arm so as to be adjacent to the spring plate, and the other end is disposed so as to be in contact with the spring plate, such that when the friction shoe is brought in selective contact with an inner side of the housing during operation of the rotation arm, friction, vibration and noise are reduced when output of an engine is increased.
