ABSTRACT:
A combined accelerating/braking apparatus of a vehicle includes a substantially hook-shaped rod which includes a first end, a first elbow, a second elbow, a third elbow, a fourth elbow, and a second end, where the fourth elbow is pivotally connected to a wall in the vehicle. A pedal is pivotally connected to the first elbow of the hook-shaped rod. A bracket which is secured to a wall of the vehicle includes a slot for detachable receiving the second elbow of the hook-shaped rod. A first torsion spring is biased between the pedal and a rod portion between the first elbow and the second elbow of the hook-shaped rod for providing a recovery tension when the pedal is pivotally depressed by a driver's foot sole with respect to the first elbow of the hook-shaped rod. A second torsion spring is biased between a wall of the vehicle and a rod portion between the third elbow and the fourth elbow of the hook-shaped rod for providing a recovery tension when the hook-shaped rod is pivotally moved with respect to the fourth elbow. The pedal is pivotally depressed by a driver's foot sole with respect to the first elbow of the hook-shaped rod for acceleration. The pedal is depressed by a driver's heel, causing the hook-shaped rod to pivotally move with respect to the fourth elbow of the hook-shaped rod for braking.
