Abstract

See full text

A pedal assembly having an electronic position sensor for actuating acceleration and deceleration through electronic signals sent from the position sensor to a processor associated with a throttle to coordinate acceleration, speed maintenance or deceleration to the position signals received from the pedal assembly. Resistance to pedal movement may be provided by a friction element engaged with a friction surface. The pedal may be fixedly attached to a pedal lever arm which may be engaged with the friction element. The pedal lever arm may disengage the friction element to allow the pedal lever arm to return to idle if the friction element becomes stuck. Further, a moveable engagement between the spring carrier and the friction element may allow biasing force from a spring to be applied to the pedal lever arm when movement of a portion of the spring carrier is inhibited by the friction element being stuck.
