ABSTRACT:
A simple and economical vehicle accelerator setting control system for motor vehicles having pivotal brake and accelerator pedals includes knob-controlled provision for setting an angled portion of an elongate speed control rod assembly in position for holding an accelerator pedal down in a manner releasable by hand on the knob or by foot preserve on the brake pedal; the speed control rod assembly has a bottom portion angled to swivel over the accelerator pedal and hold it down by means of a catch acting on a rack on the speed control rod assembly; to release engagement of the rack, the knob is rotated manually to present a smooth, non-engageable surface to the rack, and the same thing is done by foot pressure on the vehicle brake pedal, which causes an arm adjustably mounted to the brake pedal to swing against and rotate the angled portion free of the accelerator pedal.
