ABSTRACT:
The foot pedal assembly of the present invention generates and provides three inputs to a personal computer. Each of the two foot pedals of the foot pedal assembly pivot and generate an input in the form of an electrical signal in proportion to the pivoted position of the foot pedal. Each foot pedal is connected to a slidable foot pedal support, which pivotally supports the foot pedal and which allows the foot pedal to slide in forward and reverse directions. A connecting member rotatably and slidably connects the two foot pedal supports, and rotates about an axis located between the two foot pedal supports. A signal generator is operably connected to the connecting member for generating a third axis of input in the form of an electrical signal in proportion to a rotated position of the connecting member.
