ABSTRACT:
A hand control device for operating the accelerator and brake of a motor vehicle includes brake and accelerator control rods for extending from the respective accelerator and brake pedals of a motor vehicle to below the vehicle steering wheel. Clamps connected to one end of each control rod secure the control rods to respective accelerator and brake pedals or pedal stalks and a handle member is pivotally connected to the other end of each control rod. Rotation of the handle member in a first direction, and with the connection between the handle member and the accelerator control rode acting as a fulcrum, causes longitudinal movement of the brake control rod, depression of the brake pedal, and operation of the brake. Rotation of the handle in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, and with the connection between the handle member and the brake control rod acting as a fulcrum, causes longitudinal movement of the accelerator control rod, depression of the accelerator pedal, and operation of the accelerator.
