ABSTRACT:
A foot pedal is supported in angular relation on a supporting surface by a leaf spring. A switch is carried on the forward end of the foot pedal and has a movable contact arranged to engage an angled portion of the leaf spring when the foot pedal is depressed. The leaf spring extends beyond the rearward end of the foot pedal for receiving fasteners to attach the foot pedal to a supporting surface. The mechanism includes a front auxiliary foot engaging portion above the foot pedal providing a pair of foot engaging areas for individual or combined use. A cover is provided to enclose exposed portions of the switch, and such cover has a selected structure to prevent overtraveling of the switch actuating mechanism.
