ABSTRACT:
A push rod and pedal assembly includes a pedal pivotally mounted on a vehicle for movement in a generally longitudinal direction and a socket portion mounted on the pedal and movable with the pedal. The socket portion preferably has an opening facing in a generally forward longitudinal direction. The push rod and pedal assembly further includes a longitudinally oriented push rod having a push rod end being alignable generally forward of the socket portion and insertable within the socket portion upon forward longitudinal movement of the pedal. Thus, the push rod end becomes coupled to the socket portion of the pedal upon the application of forward longitudinal movement to the pedal, such as by a foot of an assembler. Preferably, a retainer is mounted on the push rod end and the retainer and push rod end are insertable within the socket portion of the pedal by snap-fitted connection upon forward longitudinal movement of the pedal.
