JPS6018459A - Device for preventing false depression of pedal in clutchless type four wheel automobile - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a false depression of both accelerator and brake pedals to enhance the safety of the vehicle, by arranging a barrier between the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal. CONSTITUTION:A barrier 4 is arranged between a brake pedal 2 and an accelerator pedal 3 in a clutchless type vehicle. This barrier 4 is selected to have such size and shape that it does not hinder the driver's boarding and alighting. During driving this barrier 4 inhibits the driver's right foot 7 from shifting toward the brake pedal 2, and the driver's left foot 6 from shifting toward the accelerator pedal 3. With this arrangement the false depression of the accelerator pedal 3 or the brake pedal 2 is prevented, and therefore, accidents due to the false depression of the pedal may be avoided to enhance the safety.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pedal misapplication prevention device for a clutchless four-wheeled vehicle.

A no-clutch type four-wheel vehicle (hereinafter referred to as a no-clutch vehicle) does not have a clutch function that intervenes in the first start function, and the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are operated by sharing the completely opposite functions of the second start function and the braking function. They are set up together.

When driving a right-hand drive domestic car without a clutch,
Observing the driver's movements, especially when reversing, or backing up, if it is difficult to see behind the driver, open the driver's seat door and lean forward to check the rear. At this time, the upper body twists to the right, and both legs naturally move to the right. What you should pay special attention to in this posture is the position of your right foot. The right foot not only moves to the right, but also to the upper right position. If you want to press the brake pedal from this position, you must do so consciously; if you do so unconsciously, the accelerator pedal I stepped on the car, and although I intended to apply the brakes, the car suddenly started,
Use the car body as a gatepost, hey.

7IC, a.
It can also lead to personal injury or death.

The above-mentioned mis-pressing of the pedals is generally more common among shorter women. The reason for this is that one foot tends to come off the pedal and end up floating in the air (4#).

In fact, I have seen and heard of several cases where some accidents were caused by pressing the wrong pedal on non-clutch cars.

If you get into the habit of pressing the brake pedal with your left foot when reversing, you may not have any problems. However, some of the current driving habits are done with clutch cars, and people are accustomed to operating the brake pedal with their right foot, so even if you change to a non-clutch car, the above habits will remain. As far as I know, almost everyone is right-footed.
Currently, both the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal are operated. In contrast, in cars driving on the left and driving on the left, as in Europe and America, when checking the rear when reversing, one foot is moved to the left, that is, acts in the direction of braking, so accidents like the one described above are relatively rare.

Even in Japan, where cars drive on the right-hand side, there are signs that clutchless cars will become more common in the future. Accidents caused by pressing the wrong pedal are considered simple driving mistakes, accidents caused by elementary driving mistakes, or negligence on the part of the driver. Beyond responsibility,
Further improvements should be made to increase the safety of driving non-clutch vehicles.

In view of two or more points, the present invention aims to provide a non-clutch vehicle.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings (1
) is a no-clutch vehicle, (2) is a brake pedal that operates the brake of a no-clutch vehicle (1), (an accelerator pedal that operates the accelerator of a 31U no-clutch vehicle (1), (
4) is a barrier fixed between the brake pedal (2) and the accelerator pedal (3), which protects the driver's (5) left foot (
6) from moving towards the accelerator pedal (3), and also blocks the right foot (7) from moving towards the brake pedal (2), and prevents the driver (5) from leaving the non-clutch vehicle (1). It has a size and shape that does not get in the way when riding in a non-clutch vehicle (1) when descending.

(8) is a seat, and (9) is a handle.

The present invention provides a barrier between the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal in a non-clutch vehicle as described above.
Not only when driving forward, but also when driving in reverse, the left and right feet are separated by a barrier, which prevents the driver from pressing the wrong pedal, which has the ideal effect of completely eliminating accidents caused by pressing the wrong pedal. It is something.
