ABSTRACT:
An adjustable control pedal assembly (10) for a vehicle includes a bracket (12) adapted for mounting on the vehicle, an adjustment member (30) pivotally attached to the bracket (12), and a control mechanism (14) mounted to the adjustment member (30), for pivotal movement of the adjustment member (30) about a first axis (34) generally horizontal and transverse to the vehicle, and a pedal arm (16) attached to the control mechanism (14) for pivotal movement relative thereto about a second axis (52) parallel to the first axis (34). The control mechanism (14) includes an electronic control means (66) responsive to the degree of relative movement of the adjustment member (30) and the pedal arm (16) to produce a control signal proportional to such movement, and a motor (18) mounted on the bracket (12) adjacent the control mechanism (14), and a drive means (20) connecting the motor (18) to the control mechanism (14) for moving the control mechanism (14) and pedal arm (16) as a unit.
