| 20120006149 | Pedal Assembly - A pedal assembly for use in a motor vehicle includes a pedal member partially mounted in a housing and configured to rotate about a fulcrum. At least one pressure-exerting spring biases the pedal member to an initial position. The pedal member is pivotable about the fulcrum against a force of the at least one pressure-exerting spring. A spring member is disposed inside the housing. One end of the spring member is fixedly fastened to the housing and an opposite end of the spring member is moveably mounted to the housing. The pedal member has a slide member which when the pedal member is actuated slides on and along one side of the spring member and exerts pressure on the one side of the spring member. | 01-12-2012 |
