First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus adapted to grasp a brake pedal, comprising:
- (a) an upper member;
(b) a lower member in slidable communication with the upper member;
(c) a locking mechanism in communication with the upper member and having a selectable first position and a second position;
(d) a coupling member connected to the lower member; and
wherein the locking mechanism further comprises a cam lever connected to a cam shoe and the cam shoe is between the cam lever and the upper member, further wherein the second position, the locking mechanism applies sufficient frictional force to lock the upper member in a selected position against the brake pedal.
