ABSTRACT:
A foot operated control for operating an accelerator and braking means of a motor driven vehicle through actuation of a single suspended pedal. A brake lever associated with the vehicle braking means is mounted at one end to a shaft pivotally supported in a mounting bracket and carrying a pivot pin adjacent the other end, the brake lever providing vehicle braking action when pivoted in a first direction; an accelerator lever associated with the vehicle carburetor and mounted on the brake lever pivot pin so as to be pivotal in an opposite direction to cause acceleration of the vehicle; and a provision for preventing the two levers from concurrently actuating the associated braking means and carburetor to avoid simultaneous functioning of the system to accelerate the motor while applying the brakes to decelerate or stop the automobile. There is also disclosed a foot pad assembly for the foot operated control which precludes vehicle acceleration when the foot control is unattended.
