ABSTRACT:
A cam and cam follower mechanism for connecting a vehicle accelerator pedal to the throttle body throttle valve for varying rates of movement of the throttle valve, including a washer-like cam operatively connected to the vehicle accelerator pedal and having an internal cam surface adopted to be engaged by a number of pins fixed to a throttle lever at different radial distances from the lever and throttle valve pivot, the pins each constituting fulcrums about which the throttle lever and throttle valve are forced to pivot one at a time as the accelerator pedal is moved angularly between closed and open throttle valve positions, the pins shifting as fulcrums upon continued movement of the accelerator pedal to provide initially a slow rate of opening of the throttle valve in response to a large angular movement of the accelerator pedal followed by a faster rate of movement of the throttle valve more nearly in proportion to the angular movement of the accelerator pedal.
