Patent ID: 8701304

Claim:
A tool for measuring the vertical distance and lateral distance between a brake pedal pad and an accelerator pedal pad in a motor vehicle comprising: a base plate lying atop a pad surface of one of the pedal pads; a first measuring plate movably mounted on the base plate for movement laterally thereon in a direction toward and away from the other of the pedal pads; a second measuring plate movably mounted on the first measuring plate for movement laterally with the first measuring plate to engage with a lateral edge of the other of the pedal pads and for vertical movement relative to the first measuring plate to engage with a pad surface of the other of the pedal pads; a first measuring indicia provided on the base plate and the first measuring plate from which a user can read the lateral distance between the brake pedal pad and the accelerator pedal pad; a second measuring indicia provided on the first measuring plate and the second measuring plate from which a user can read the vertical height between the brake pedal pad and the accelerator pedal pad; and, said first measuring plate being movably mounted on the base plate by a slot provided in one of the first measuring plate and base plate, and a clamp threaded into the other of the first measuring plate and base plate, and permitting both sliding and pivoting movement of the first measuring plate relative to the base plate until the clamp is tightened.
