Adjustable pedal mechanism
First Claim
1. A setting device for setting a connecting piece mounted pivotably and with a transmission unit coupled to the connecting piece for transmitting the movement of the connecting piece, the setting device comprising:
- a mounting device for pivotably mounting the connecting piece;
an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the position of the connecting piece;
a locking unit to prevent an unintended adjustment of the position of the connecting piece;
a compensating unit for compensating a change in the distance between the transmission unit and the connecting piece, which change is brought about by the adjustment of the position of the connecting piece, said mounting device including a carriage coupled with said adjusting mechanism, said adjusting mechanism comprising a drive unit, wherein the carriage can be moved linearly via said drive unit, and said compensating unit is coupled with said carriage and said drive unit essentially compensates the changes in the distance between the connecting piece and the transmission unit coupled with the connecting piece, which changes are linked with the adjustment of the position of the connecting piece arranged on said carriage.

Abstract
A device is provided for setting a connecting piece (5) mounted pivotably by a mounting device (1), especially a pedal mechanism in a motor vehicle, with which a transmission unit (6) is coupled for transmitting the movement of the connecting piece (5). The setting device has an adjusting mechanism (7) for adjusting the position of the connecting piece (5), a locking unit (8), which prevents the unintended adjustment of the position of the connecting piece (5), and a compensating unit (10) for compensating the change in the distance between the transmission unit (6) and the connecting piece (5), which change is brought about by the adjustment of the position of the connecting piece (5). The mounting device (1) comprises a carriage (3) and is coupled with an adjusting mechanism (7) comprising a drive unit (9), wherein the carriage (3) can be moved linearly via the drive unit (9), and the compensating unit (10) coupled with the carriage (3) and the drive unit (9) compensates essentially the change in the distance between the connecting piece (5) and the transmission unit (6) coupled with the connecting piece (5), which change is linked with the adjustment of the position of the connecting piece (5) arranged on the carriage (3).
