ABSTRACT:
An improved link mechanism for a vehicular cruise control apparatus equally usable with right-hand steering and left-hand steering automobiles. A first, circular lever 1' is selectively connected with one end of a first cable 6 which is connected to an accelerator pedal at its other end. The pedal can be disposed on the right side of the first lever for a right-hand steering vehicle, or on the left side thereof for a left-hand steering vehicle. A second, semicircular lever 2 is connected with one end of a second cable 7 which is secured at its other end to a throttle valve. A third, semicircular lever 3 is connected with one end of a third cable 8 which is secured at its other end to a cruise control actuator. The first through third levers are rotatably mounted on a support shaft 4 such that when the accelerator pedal is depressed by the driver, the first lever is operated through the first cable to rotate the second lever independently of the third lever for controlling the throttle valve, whereas when the cruise control is actuated, the third lever is operated through the third cable to rotate the second lever independently of the first lever for controlling the throttle valve. The first lever has first and second, diametrically opposite attachments for selective connection to the first cable.
