A foldable accelerator pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes: a pedal housing fixedly installed in a lower space of a driver seat, a pedal pad rotatably coupled to the pedal housing, and a hysteresis module to generate hysteresis when a driver manipulates the pedal pad. In a manual driving mode in which a driver directly drives the vehicle, the pedal pad 200 protrudes from the pedal housing 100 and is popped up to be exposed to the driver, and in an autonomous driving mode in which the driver does not directly drive the vehicle, the pedal pad 200 is inserted into the pedal housing 100 and is in a hidden (hide) state in which the exposure to the driver is blocked. It is possible to implement hysteresis through the hysteresis module 300 when the pedal pad 200 is manipulated.

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle, turns into a pop-up state in which a pedal pad protrudes to the interior of the vehicle to be exposed toward a driver in the manual driving mode in which the driver is actively engaged in driving and a hide state in which the pedal pad is pushed behind a center fascia panel so that exposure toward the driver is blocked in the autonomous driving mode in which the driver is not actively engaged in driving, wherein a pressure-operated or liner motion signal generating portion generates a signal relating to a pedal function during manipulation of the pedal pad.

A system for a two-step activation for a valve includes at least one valve control selector having an output representative of a valve position and a touch sensor having an output representative of a permission to operate said valve.

A foldable brake pedal apparatus for autonomous vehicles provides a manual driving mode and an autonomous driving mode. In the manual driving mode, a driver directly drives a vehicle, a pedal pad protrudes from a pedal housing and pops up to be exposed to the driver side such that the driver can manipulate the pedal pad. And in the autonomous driving mode, the driver does not directly drive the vehicle, the pedal pad is inserted into the pedal housing and is in a hidden state in which exposure of the pedal pad toward the drive side is inhibited such that the driver cannot manipulate the pedal pad.

This rotary control system for a device includes a rotary control member, rotationally mobile about a first fixed axis, between first and second positions, and a rotary control handle, intended to be secured in rotation with the rotary member about the first axis. It also includes a blocking device, that can be selectively moved, when the rotary member is in its first position, between a blocking configuration, in which it prevents the movement of the rotary member to its second position, and a release configuration, wherein the movement of the rotary member to its second position. This system further includes a locking plate, rotationally mobile about the first axis relative to the rotary member, when the rotary member is in its first position, between a locking position, in which a first orifice passing through the rotary member is superposed with a second orifice passing through the locking plate.

Beverage dispensing assembly, comprising a container and a tapping apparatus having a chamber in which the container fits and can be entered into through an opening closable by a lid, such that the container is enclosed between the lid and an opposite end of a chamber, wherein spaced apart from the lid and preferably at said opposite end of the chamber a first connector is provided, for feeding pressurised gas into the container through a gas inlet provided in the container, and at the side of the opening of the chamber a pressure element is provided for pressing the container with the gas inlet onto the first connector.

A foldable brake pedal apparatus for an autonomous driving vehicle enables a pedal pad to protrude from a pedal housing in a popped-up state to make it possible for the driver to operate the pedal pad in a manual driving mode in which the driver manually drives the vehicle. In particular, the pedal pad is inserted into the pedal housing and blocked from being exposed to the driver in a hidden state so as to make it impossible for the driver to operate the pedal pad in an autonomous driving mode in which the driver does not manually drive the vehicle.

An organ type electronic brake pedal apparatus having a high- load spring module and a hysteresis module is capable of tuning a pedal effort, a stroke and a hysteresis operation force, desired differently for each vehicle model, by changing a component of the high-load spring module or hysteresis module. In particular, the organ type electronic brake pedal apparatus includes: a pedal housing to be fixedly installed on a floor below a driver seat of a vehicle; a pedal pad pivotably coupled to the pedal housing to be operated by a driver of the vehicle; a high-load spring module including a first end and a second end pivotably coupled to the pedal housing and the pedal pad, respectively; and a hysteresis module to connect the pedal housing and the pedal pad and generate hysteresis when the pedal pad is operated by the driver.
