Abstract

To assist motion of a lower limb, and prevent misstepping on a brake pedal and an acceleration pedal.SOLUTION: A movable pedal mount is fixedly installed on a driver sheet floor. A heel part of an operation-side lower limb is put on the movable pedal mount, and a stepping operation of the pedal is performed while a foot joint is rotated outward and inward, thereby driving is carried out. A sole is normally positioned on a brake pedal operation side by a horizontal pivot spring and a stopper. Since the heel part is put on the pedal mount, the lower limb can be stably held with the foot joint slightly in a dorsiflexion state. To operate a braking pedal, the foot joint is directly plantar flexed. To operate an acceleration pedal, the foot joint is rotated outward, and then, is plantar flexed. The movable pedal mount has a structure with which the sole is easily, automatically returned to the brake pedal side position by the horizontal pivot spring after the operation of the acceleration pedal is finished. In addition, since a stepping-change from a hip joint or knee joint is not required, misstepping on the acceleration pedal and the brake pedal can be prevented.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

The present invention facilitates accelerator pedal and brake pedal operation when driving a vehicle.

Assists in reducing lower limb fatigue and improving operability when driving a car, and preventing mistakes in pressing the accelerator pedal and brake pedal.

The thrust bearing (Fig. 1- ▲ 5 ▼) in the pedal mount provides a lateral rotation function, and the spring (Fig. 1- ▲ 2 ▼) and stopper (Fig. 1- ▲ 1 ▼) return to the original position. Built-in. The front-back movement is secured by the front-back direction spring (Fig. 1- ▲ 4 ▼) and the front-back direction stopper (Fig. 1- ▲ 6 ▼). Further, it has a vertical spring (Fig. 1-3 ▼) in the mount shaft.

The present invention facilitates the operation of the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal when driving a car, and contributes to the reduction of lower limb fatigue and the prevention of pedal missteps.

It is a side view (side view from the right side) which shows the embodiment of this invention. It is a surface view (view from the top surface) which shows the embodiment of this invention. It is a surface view (detailed view from the top surface) which shows the embodiment of this invention.

The movable pedal mount is fixedly installed on the driver's seat floor, and the heel of the lower limb on the operating side is placed on the movable pedal mount (Fig. 1, Fig. 3). The ankle joint is abducted and added while the pedal is depressed to drive (Fig. 1). 2). Due to the lateral rotation spring and stopper, the sole is usually in the position on the brake operating side. In addition, when the operation on the accelerator side is completed, the sole automatically returns to the position on the brake side by the lateral rotation spring (FIGS. 2 and 3). A clearance was provided by a front-rear spring and a stopper (Fig. 1-4 ▼ ▲ 6 ▼) and a vertical spring (Fig. 1- ▲ 3 ▼) in the mount housing.

It may be used as standard equipment for automobiles, as an option at the time of purchase, or as a commercially available option.
