Patent ID: 7162999

Claim:
A governor system for limiting a degree of throttle travel of a throttle as a function of rotational speed of a drive axle, comprising: a governor shaft rotatably supported by the drive axle and operably interconnected to the drive axle for varying a feedback torque of said governor shaft in accordance with the rotational speed of the drive axle; a governor arm fixed for rotation with said governor shaft; a throttle cable interconnected with the governor arm for applying a first pulling force to the throttle as said governor arm is induced to rotate; an accelerator cable resiliently interconnected with said governor arm to apply a second pulling force to said governor arm to induce rotation thereof for applying a torque on said governor shaft, said torque balancing with said feedback torque of said governor shaft for limiting said first pulling force as a function of the rotational speed of the drive axle; and an accelerator pedal resiliently interconnected with said throttle cable to apply a third pulling force to said accelerator cable.
