ABSTRACT:
A hand control device is provided for operating the accelerator and brake controls of a motor vehicle. The device comprises a brake control member and an accelerator control member, mounting clamps connected to one end of each member for securing the members to a respective control, a handle member pivotally connected to the other end of each control member, and a flexible support loop passing around the vehicle steering column for receiving and supporting one of the control members. Rotation of the handle member in a first direction, with the connection between the handle member and the accelerator control member acting as a fulcrum, operates the brake control. Rotation of the handle member in a second direction opposite to the first direction, with the connection member between the handle member and the brake control member acting as a fulcrum, operates the accelerator control.
