Patent ID: 7954398

Claim:
A pedal device for automotive vehicles, comprising: a base plate; a pedal pivotably attached to the base plate and having a push rod extending downwards from an underneath surface of the pedal; a rotating member mounted to the base plate, a pulling arm comprising a cable catch hole for holding a manual operating cable wherein the pulling arm rotates together with the rotating member; a rotation detecting sensor provided on one side of the base plate for detecting the degree of rotation of the rotating member and notifying an electronic control unit of the degree of rotation thus detected a stroke adjustor means for adjusting a rotational stroke of the pedal, the stroke adjustor means including: a fixed stopper fixedly secured to the underneath surface of the pedal and having a slant bottom surface inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a top surface of the base plate; a movable stopper releasably affixed to a first position on the slant bottom surface of the fixed stopper a first distance from the top surface of the base plate provides a first rotational stroke of the pedal, wherein the movement of the movable stopper to a second position on the slant bottom surface of the fixed stopper a second distance from the top surface of the base plate provides a second rotational stroke of the pedal, said movable stopper further comprising a motion limiting surface that forms a limit to the rotational stroke of the pedal by physically contacting the top surface of the base plate; and a fastener means for releasably affixing the movable stopper to the slant bottom surface of the fixed stopper.
