L'extremite o superieure 24 de la pedale 18 est montee pivotante sur une platine 27 solidaire de la caisse du vehicule automobile autour d'un axe superieur transversal A.

La biellette de poussee 36 est ici articulee sur la pedale 18 sensiblement au quart de la longueur de la pedale 18 a partir de l'axe A de la pedale 18 de maniere a beneficier d'un bras de  The pedal 18 controls the actuation of the piston 32 by means of a longitudinal thrust link 36, also called control rod, one front end 38 of which is elastically articulated on the actuation piston 32 and the other of which rear end 40 is mounted articulated on the pedal 18. The thrust link 36 is therefore located substantially o in the same longitudinal and vertical plane as the pedal 18. The thrust rod 36 is here articulated on the pedal 18 substantially at the quarter of the length of pedal 18 from axis A of pedal 18 so as to benefit from an arm of

Ainsi, lorsque le conducteur applique un effort sur le patin 22 avec son pied, la pedale 18 pivote autour de son axe A dans un sens horaire selon la figure 1. Dans une position extreme d'actionnement de la pedale 18, illustree a la figure 3, le patin 22 se situe globalement a la verticale au-dessous de l'axe A de la o pedale 18. L'amplitude du pivotement de la pedale 18 autour de son axe A est determinee en fonction de l'ergonomie de l'habitacle 14. La pedale 18 pivote ici d'environ 45 a partir de sa  Thus, when the driver applies a force to the shoe 22 with his foot, the pedal 18 pivots about its axis A in a clockwise direction according to FIG. 1. In an extreme actuation position of the pedal 18, illustrated in FIG. 3, the pad 22 is generally vertically below the axis A of the pedal o 18. The amplitude of the pivoting of the pedal 18 around its axis A is determined as a function of the ergonomics of the cockpit 14. Pedal 18 pivots here by about 45 from its

The ergonomics of the passenger compartment 14 of the vehicle thus remain unchanged for the driver. In this respect, the amplitude of the pivoting of the pedal 18 about its axis A is notably substantially the same as

La biellette de poussee 36 s'etend dans le meme plan longitudinal et vertical que la pedale 18. Afin de permettre le decalage longitudinal de la biellette de poussee 36 au-dela de la pedale 18, un trou ou passage 46 est par exemple realise dans le  The push rod 36 extends in the same longitudinal and vertical plane as the pedal 18. In order to allow the longitudinal offset of the push rod 36 beyond the pedal 18, a hole or passage 46 is for example made in the

The axis C of the lever 50 is located at a distance Ll, here above a straight line passing through the front 38 and rear 40 ends of the push rod 36, while the axis A of the pedal 18 is located at a distance Lp, here above said straight line. The lever 50 is intended to guide the rear end 40 of the connecting rod 36 along a trajectory in an arc of a circle, the

La transmission de ['effort d'actionnement de la pedale 18 au levier 50 est ici assuree par une bielie longitudinale de traction 54 dont une extremite avant 56 est montee articulee sur la pedale 18 et dont l'extremite arriere 58 est montee articulee sur le levier 50. La biellette de poussee 36 et la bielle de traction 54 vent sensiblement paralleles et la bielle de traction 54 est ici agencee  The transmission of the actuation force from the pedal 18 to the lever 50 is here ensured by a longitudinal traction link 54 of which a front end 56 is mounted articulated on the pedal 18 and whose rear end 58 is mounted articulated on the lever 50.

Le levier 50 pivote done autour de son axe C o dans un sens horaire selon la figure 2. La biellette de poussee 36 est done poussee vers ['avant et enforce le piston 32 qui  During the operation of the pedal 44, a force is applied to the shoe 22 of the pedal 18 in the rest position, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The pedal 18 then pivots about its axis A towards the extreme actuation position, illustrated in FIG. 4. The force is transmitted to the lever 50 by means of the traction rod 54. The lever 50 therefore pivots about its axis C o in a clockwise direction according to FIG. 2. The thrust rod 36 is therefore pushed forward and forces the piston 32 which

On a represente aux figures 5 et 6 un autre mode de realisation de l'inventiori. La biellette de poussee 36 et la bielle de traction 54 se situent ici sensiblement dans un meme plan horizontal. L'extremite avant 56 de la bielle de traction 54 est articulee sensiblement au quart de la pedale 18 a partir de l'axe A de la pedale 18. L'axe C du levier 50 se situe ici a la meme o altitude que l'axe A de la pedale 18. La longueur Ll correspond ici sensiblement a la longueur entre l'axe A de la pedale et l'extremite arriere 40 de la biellette de poussee 36 du pedalier  We have shown in Figures 5 and 6 another embodiment of the inventiori. The push rod 36 and the traction rod 54 are located here substantially in the same horizontal plane. The front end 56 of the traction rod 54 is articulated substantially to the quarter of the pedal 18 from the axis A of the pedal 18. The axis C of the lever 50 is located here at the same o altitude as the axis A of the pedal 18. The length L1 here corresponds substantially to the length between the axis A of the pedal and the rear end 40 of the push rod 36 of the pedal

selon l'etat de la technique.according to the state of the art.

La trajectoire de l'extremite arriere 40 de la biellette de poussee 36 reste ainsi globalement la meme que pour le pedalier realise selon l'etat de la technique. Mais un tel pedalier 44 a l'avantage d'avoir un encombrement vertical reduit grace a un  The trajectory of the rear end 40 of the push rod 36 thus remains broadly the same as for the crankset produced according to the state of the art. But such a crankset 44 has the advantage of having a reduced vertical size thanks to a

levier 50 plus court que dans le mode de realisation precedent.  lever 50 shorter than in the previous embodiment.

Selon un autre mode de realisation non represente, le fait o de placer l'axe du levier plus eloigne de la biellette de poussee permet d'obtenir une trajectoire en arc de cercle plus plate pour une corde de meme longueur L d'actionnement maximum du piston. II est ainsi possible de raccourcir avantageusement la longueur de la biellette de poussee sans que la trajectoire de son extremite arriere-n'induise d'angle par rapport a l'axe B qui soit  According to another embodiment not shown, the fact o placing the axis of the lever further from the push rod makes it possible to obtain a trajectory in a flatter arc for a rope of the same length L maximum actuation of the piston. It is thus possible to advantageously shorten the length of the push rod without the trajectory of its rear end inducing an angle relative to the axis B which is

superieur a ['angle limite.greater than the limit angle.

Cette invention trouve egalement a s'appliquer pour des pedaliers dans lesquels les pedales vent articulees par leurs  This invention is also applicable to pedalboards in which the wind pedals articulated by their

extremites inferieures avec les patins en position haute.  lower extremities with the pads in the high position.

L'invention n'est pas limitee au cas dans lequel la pedale  The invention is not limited to the case in which the pedal

et le levier vent montes pivotants sur une platine commune.  and the wind lever pivotally mounted on a common plate.
