Speed limiting device of engine and/or vehicle
First Claim
1. A device ascertaining that a vehicle having an accelerator does not exceed a pre-set speed limit comprising:
- a. first means for transferring the input movement from the accelerator tob. pulley means for controlling the output movement of the accelerator;
c. second means for transferring said output movement to a speed control unit;
d. electrical means actuating said pulley means the moment the pre-set speed limit is reached;
e. means for pre-setting the desired speed limit;
f. wherein said first transferring means is an input cable secured to the accelerator at one end and to said pully means at the other end, and said second transferring means is an output cable cable secured to the speed control unit at one end and to said pulley means at the other end; and
g. wherein each cable is disposed within a corresponding envelope, and wherein one end of each envelope of the input and output cables is secured to the chassis of the vehicle, the other end of the envelope of the input cable is connected to the chassis of the device, and the other end of the envelope of the output cable is threaded through the chassis of the device and secured to a linearly moving carriage.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a device ascertaining that a vehicle does not exceed a pre-set speed limit and/or a pre-set engine RPM limit. Said device comprises means for transferring the input movement from the accelerator to means for contacting the output movement; means for transferring said output movement to the speed control unit; electrical means actuating said control means at the proper time, means for reading the speed and/or the engine RPM and means for pre-setting the desired speed limit and/or engine RPM limit. Said device may comprise additional means for protecting the vehicle to be driven by unauthorized persons. The device may be utilized for any vehicle and/or machine which is actuated by a lever and the drawing distance together with the load determine the speed, e.g., cars, airplanes, tractors and other agricultural implements.
