ABSTRACT:
A device for providing a pedal operator with tactile indication that a pedal (32) has been depressed to a preselected position includes a cup-like housing (50), a ring-shaped magnet (52) mounted within the housing (50) and a displaceable member (54) provided with a pin (56) engageable by the pedal (32). The pin (56) extends through aligned openings in the magnet (52) and housing (50) and mounts the displaceable member (54) for linear sliding movement on the housing (50). Depression of the pedal (32) to the preselected position results in shifting of the displaceable member (54) away from the influence of the magnet (52) to provide the operator with a snap-like tactile indication of pedal position. The cup (50), magnet (52) and displaceable member (54) are each made of unitary, one-piece construction and of simple, circular geometry.
