ABSTRACT:
A brake pedal linkage includes a pair of levers (18,20), a first connecting member (26) and a second connecting member (28). The first connecting member defines a lost-motion connection with a master cylinder and the second connecting member defines a lost-motion connection with one of the pair of levers. The first connecting member extends between a brake pedal and a master cylinder and cooperates with the pair of levers such that the master cylinder travel is greater than the brake pedal during an initial stage of braking, less than the brake pedal during an intermediate stage of braking, and equal to the brake pedal during a final stage of braking.
