An accelerator device includes a pad configured to receive an input force from a driver, a case attachable to a vehicle body and having a front wall facing the pad, and an internal movable mechanism housed in the case. The internal movable mechanism includes a shaft that is rotatably supported in the case and a pedal extending outward from an outer peripheral portion of the shaft. An arm is arranged to pass through an opening provided in the front wall and to connect the pad and the pedal, and a cushioning member is provided in the front wall, to be inserted between the pedal or the arm and the front wall in an accelerator fully-closed state, and to be inserted between the pad and the front wall in an accelerator fully-open state.

A construction machine that frequently changes between a forward and reverse direction of movement includes a system and method for operating the machine such that rotation of the operator seat can change the direction and speed of the machine's movement to minimize disorientation by the operator. The machine can be changed from moving in the forward direction to moving in the reverse direction, without changing the position of a propel lever or joystick that is used to control the direction and speed of the machine's movement. Rotation of the seat can be used to proportionally reduce the speed of the machine as the machine nears a threshold for changing direction. The joystick can be a dual axis lever that can move along a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis. The direction of movement and speed of the machine can depend on a combination of the joystick position and seat position.

A system for adjusting a control pedal distance and orientation relative to a user of a driving-related assembly, the system comprising a moveable pedal plate having a pedal assembly attachment region and at least one distal attachment point located near a distal end region thereof, and at least one proximal pivotable attachment point, each of the distal attachment point and proximal pivotable attachment point having respective distal coupling means and proximal pivotable coupling means. The system further comprises a connecting member having a pivotable coupling means located near respective first and second ends, wherein the pivotable coupling means located near the first end is matable with the proximal pivotable coupling means, and the second end is matable with a connecting member anchor. The system further comprises at least one substantially upright fixation member having a plurality of predetermined coupling points.

The present disclosure relates to a device in which a brake member and an accelerator member are arranged in an actuation unit for actuating the brake and accelerator in a vehicle. The actuation unit can be moved from an active driving position during autonomous driving into an at least approximately horizontal position to form a leg rest, the brake member and the accelerator member being deactivated.

Control of a self-powered floor preparation machine is provided by an ergonomic controller having a guarded control stick which has various characteristics, including its pitch, roll, yaw and height, that may all be adjusted.

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes: a pedal housing rotatably coupled to a footrest panel disposed below a driver seat, configured to come in contact with a front inclined surface of the footrest panel when rotating forward, and configured to come in contact with a bottom surface of the footrest panel when rotating rearward; a brake pedal pad rotatably coupled to the pedal housing and configured to be rotated by a driver; and an accelerator pedal pad rotatably coupled to the pedal housing and configured to be rotated by the driver, wherein when the pedal housing is in contact with the front inclined surface of the footrest panel by rotating forward, the brake pedal pad and the accelerator pedal pad are folded to be positioned between the front inclined surface and the pedal housing and are kept in a hidden state.

An assembly for a vehicle comprising a mechanism for adjusting the angular position of a vehicle pedal includes a motor for generating and transmitting rotary motion to a rotating member, a first pedal assembly having a first support frame with a first slotted hole, rotatably supported on a first fulcrum and supporting a first pedal, a first motion conversion mechanism, having a first rotating member rotatable about a first rotation axis and a first translating member, receiving and converting rotational motion into translational motion, and a first pin, for joint translation with the first translating member and sliding inside the first slotted hole. Sliding of the first pin draws the first support frame in rotation about the first fulcrum between a first and a second angular position. The mechanism includes a second pedal assembly. The first rotating member is connected to the motor to receive rotary motion. A second rotating member of a second motion conversion mechanism is connected in rotation to the first rotating member through a flexible transmission.
