Adjustable pedal device
First Claim
1. An adjustable pedal device for a motor vehicle, with a holder being fixed to a vehicle body, with a mounting support in the holder, the mounting support having a top section, a bottom section and a midsection between the top and bottom sections, the mounting support being pivoted about a first axis at the midsection, and the top and bottom sections being free to rotate about the first axis, with at least one first pedal lever pivotally mounted in the mounting support about a second axis, and with the first pedal lever acting by way of a point of application upon a control member by rotating about the second axis so that the point of application displaces by a displacement travel, wherein a second pedal lever is pivotally mounted on the bottom section of the mounting support, so as to be rotatable about a fourth axis.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an adjustable pedal device including at least two pedals whose initial position is variable. A pedal device is disclosed wherein a control member is rotatably articulated at the pedal lever for the brake, while the lever is rotatable about a third axis. It is disadvantageous in the prior art construction that a second pedal, particularly an accelerator pedal, cannot be simultaneously adjusted according to said principle because the forces acting upon the individual pedals are not effective in the same direction. The invention relates to a pedal device which has a simple design and in which the initial position of the mentioned two pedals can be adjusted in a substantially uniform manner, the two pedals being mounted in a twistable mounting support while being rotated about axes that are offset one relative to the other.
