Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanism of safety release of control pedals of a vehicle.
  • the present invention relates to a mechanism of safety release of the pedals, when the vehicle is subject to a frontal impact.
  • control pedals can be a danger for the driver, because they can enter the passenger compartment damaging the driver's legs.
  • pedals for controlling the acceleration, the braking and the clutch actuation.
  • These pedals are normally composed of an arm that is supported in rotation by a bracket positioned on the floor panel of the vehicle, a means for connecting the accelerator, the brakes or the clutch and the pedal's arm, and a carpet connected to the non-articulated end of the pedal's arm, for allowing the thrust from the driver.
  • a feature of the present invention refers to control pedals having the characteristics of the attached claim 1.
  • control pedals according to the present invention comprise a mechanism of release that allows the collapse or the release of a pedal, when the vehicle is involved in a frontal impact.
  • the control pedals typically comprise at least a pedal 2 for being adjustably constrained in such a way to rotate on a coupling support 3 connected to the front wall of a panel P (or to an equivalent element) for the separation of the passenger compartment from the engine compartment.
  • the pedal is provided at its upper end with a bushing 21 that is integral with the pedal and a pivot pin 41 that is integral with the support, that is advantageously insertable on an opposed couple of seats 31 obtained on the support 3.
  • the pivot pin is maintained in these seats through a couple of opposed stop levers 42 that are constrained to the support 3 through pins 43.
  • the levers 42 can rotate around the axis of these pins 43, but are normally maintained in a closed position so that to maintain constrained the pedal to the support 3, through a fork 44 engaged in suitable notches 45 of the levers themselves.
  • the fork 44 is maintained in a fixed position on the support through a hook 32.
  • the mechanism of release allows the release of the pedal from the support when the vehicle is involved in a frontal impact, in such a way to move the panel P and consequently the support 3 toward the inner part of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
  • the mechanism comprises a coupling bracket 4 which is integrally constrained to the cross member under the dashboard, It is considered as a substantially "fixed" point of the vehicle, whereas the panel P can move toward the vehicle interior during a frontal impact.
  • the cross member B and the panel P are able to relatively move the one with respect to the other substantially with respect to an horizontal plane.
  • This coupling bracket is constrained to the support 3 so that during this relative movement between the panel and the bar, between this one and the support itself a relative movement of a predetermined quantity can exist.
  • screws or pins can move within the slot, whose size determines the abovementioned predetermined quantity.
  • the bracket 4 also comprises at least a guide 48 that associates to a corresponding protuberance 33 of the support 3, in such a way to determine, along with the slots 46 and the fastening means 47, a preferential direction for the relative movement between it and the support itself.
  • the bracket comprises a wedge-shaped portion 49 for inserting in the support 3 and for inserting under the central portion of the fork 44 that is preferably reversed "U"-shaped for helping the positioning of the wedge.
  • the mechanism of release operates as follows.
  • the wedge-shaped portion 49 of the bracket 4 tends to insert in the support 3 and to insert even more under the fork 44 releasing it from the hook 32 and determining the hoisting.
