Foot pedal switch structure
The present invention relates to a foot pedal switch structure for reducing foot fatigue caused by pressing the foot pedal switch that comprises a body, a pedal, and a support pad. The body has a holding space; a pivot shaft is located in each left and right outer side in the rear area thereof separately; and the rear bottom side of the body has a joint unit. The pedal has a pivot hole located in each left and right side separately, wherein the pivot holes are placed over the pivot shafts of the body; the pedal is placed over and covers the holding space of the body. The support pad has a connecting plate extended therefrom, wherein the connecting plate is connected with the joint unit of the body.
Pedal cover assembly and methods of use and manufacture thereof
Some embodiments relate to a cover assembly for use with a vehicular plate member. The cover assembly includes a pad that is over-molded to a resilient member. The pad includes a primary contact member having an exterior surface with a relatively high coefficient of friction and disposed to be frictionally engagable with the vehicle operator's foot, the primary contact member being abradable through frictional engagement with the operator's foot. The pad can also include a connector member that is configured for attachment to the plate member. The cover assembly can also include a secondary contact member between the exterior surface of the primary contact member and the plate member. The secondary contact member is disposed completely below the primary contact member and thereby hidden from view prior to abrasion of the primary contact member, but disposed to frictionally engage the operator's foot subsequent to abrasion of the primary contact member.
