ABSTRACT:
An adjustable pedal apparatus allows the adjustment of a first end of a pedal lever (18) to accommodate operators having varying anatomical characteristics. The apparatus includes an adjuster link (28) having a first end pivotally connected to a second end of the pedal lever and a first end pivotally connected to a first ground point (32). A bell crank (38) is pivotally connected to a second ground point at one end and a push rod (48) at the opposite end. A drag link (54) interconnects the bell crank between its ends and the pedal lever (18) between its ends. The interconnection of the adjuster link the pedal lever form a virtual ground point (58) so as to form an adjustable ground link with the second ground point. The adjustable ground link allows the first end of the pedal lever (18) to be adjusted between first and second pedal positions.
