| Zusammenfassung: | This invention relates to an adjustable pedal system for an automobile.
An adjustable pedal system has a first pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a first jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the first pedal and a second pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a second jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the second pedal. An electric motor drives the translatable nuts fore and aft, and a fail-safe device that includes a motor control switch operated by the fore and aft movements of two of the nuts limits misalignment of the two pedals due to adjustments. |
