Definitions
- the present invention concerns a manual device for controlling brake and accelerator of a vehicle.
- the invention relates to a manual device of the above kind comprised of three lever pivoted in different points of a frame and interacting so as to adjust braking and acceleration of a vehicle by movement of a single knob.
- Object of the present invention is therefore that of realising a manual control device having small dimensions, permitting by a single element actuating two controls, can be installed so as not to hinder driver movements, or rubbing against cart parts, and, finally, permits using rigid rods ensuring a best solidity of the structure.
- Main innovative feature is that accelerator and brake levers are placed within a housing permitting ensuring operation preventing, in case of leg contraction, (not wished) interference with driver when controlling brake and accelerator lever.
- housing ac ts both as anchoring and as lever, and all other accessories, support, thus creating set self-supporting and limited dimensions within the vehicle.
- a manual device for controlling brake and accelerator of a vehicle comprising a body, coupled with the vehicle and remaining substantially standstill while the device is used, and within which there are provided first lever, provided with an upper handgrip, projecting from inside said body, and movable independently with respect to the same, a second lever and a third lever, and a frame, said first lever being pivoted on the frame in a substantially central position, so that, if user exerts an action on said handgrip, it can be displaced forward or backward, said second lever being pivoted above on said frame, in correspondence of one of its ends, the upper part of the first lever being so shaped not to interfere with said second lever, as an upper kinematic torque, said third lever being pivoted at the bottom of said frame, in correspondence of one of its ends, lower end of said first lever being so shaped to interfere with said lever, as an upper kinematic torque, free end of the second lever being coupled with brake operation means, and free end of the third lever being coupled with accelerator
- said second lever and said third lever are provided with return elastic means, particularly a spring, aiming to bring then in a rest or neutral position.
- said device is provided with a bracket for fixing to the vehicle, particularly a bracket that can be inserted within holes realised into the seat frame.
- said frame provides two specular elements, placed aside the lever assembly.
- acceleration acti on is made pulling backward said first lever, while braking action is made pushing said first lever forward.
- said handgrip can be provided with other controls, such as, for example, a brake blocking button, horn, of light operating controls.
- said device can be horizontally provided under the steering wheel.
- figure 1 is an axonometric view of manual device according to the invention
- figure 2 schematically shows, partially in exploded view, manual device according to the invention and its system for anchoring to the vehicle elements;
- figure 3 schematically shows device according to the invention, from which outer housing has been removed, during operative acceleration step
- figure 4 schematically shows device according to the invention, from which outer housing has been removed, during operative braking step.
- a body A (comprised of two hemi-shells), within which there are provided a first lever 10, provided with an upper handgrip 2, a second lever 20, and a third lever 30, and a frame
- Said first lever 10 is pivoted according to a substantially central horizontal position 11 on said frame 1 , so that, in case user exerts an action on said handgrip 2, can be displaced forward or backward.
- Said second lever 20 is pivoted above on said frame 1 , in correspondence of one of its ends, at point indicated by reference number
- Said third lever 30 is pivoted at the bottom of said frame 1 , in correspondence of one of its ends, at point indicated by reference number
- Lower end 12 of said first lever 10 is so shaped to interfere with said lever, as an upper kinematic torque.
- Free end of second lever 20 is coupled with a rod 6 for operation of brake, while free end of third lever 30 is coupled with a rod 5 for operation of accelerator. Acceleration and braking systems will be no further described, since they are not specific part of the invention.
- Device 100 according to the invention is further provided with a bracket 3 for fixing to the vehicle.
- fixing occurs on a bracket 7 that can be inserted through holes 4 realised on seat 8 frame, so as to be able to adjust position of device 100 according to the user needing.
- user can tune action, deciding when accelerating or not.
- a return spring 33 is provided on pivoting point 32 of lever 30 aiming bringing lever 30 back in a rest position as soon as pushing action is released from the same lever 10, thus preventing risk that vehicle is involuntarily accelerated.
- lever 10 acts on lever 20, making it rotating about point 22, of a distance corresponding to the full brake stroke.
- a return spring 23 is provided on pivoting point 22 of lever 20, aiming to bring the lever 20 back in the rest position as soon as pushing exerted on the same lever 10 is released.
- device 100 it is provided to the user a system which is very simple and usable by a single hand to accelerate and brake. Acceleration and braking direction can be obviously reversed. Furthermore, device according to the invention is so realised to ensure elimination of every acceleration force while braking, since to brake it is necessary interrupting the acceleration action.
- said handgrip 2 can be provided with different controls, such as, for example, a brake blocking button, horn, or light operating controls.
