Description

PEDAL FOR PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY CONTROLS
The present invention relates to a pedal for primary and auxiliary controls. More specifically, the invention concerns a pedal of the above kind allowing to operate any kind of primary and auxiliary controls in a very simple and practical way.
In the following of the specification, particular reference will be made to a pedal for primary and auxiliary electric controls, but it is to be understood that the same pedal can be used also for other uses, without limiting the present invention.
As it is well known, during the last years, many solutions have been studied to try to allow to drive to handicapped people.
The solution suggested according to the present invention is particularly addressed to a pedal that can be used for persons not
• having full use of the upper limbs, but that instead can use both feet. In the automatic transmission vehicles, it is necessary only the right foot to alternatively operate on the accelerator and brake pedal. Therefore, functionality of left foot is fully available, and it can be exploited for different controls.
In view of the above, the Applicant has realised the solution hereby described, based on the use of the foot not used for other functions, to send controls, that should otherwise hand operated, and usually provided close to the steering wheel.
These and other results are obtained according to the invention suggesting a pedal for primary and auxiliary electric controls able to allow carrying out different controls by the feet.
It is therefore specific object of the present invention a pedal for primary and auxiliary electric controls comprising a floor fixing element,ae pedal element coupled with said floor fixing element in such a way to be possible to push the same pedal element toward the floor from a lifted position, means opposing against said pushing action, button means, that can be pushed by the foot, to carry out the wished controls, and/or lateral means, movable by lateral motion of the foot, and stop means for the pushing of the pedal element.
Preferably, according to the invention, said fixing element is a base element. Always according to the invention, said pedal element is pivoted on said fixing element along an axis in correspondence of the lower part of the pedal element.
Still according to the invention, said base element can be substantially "L" shaped, the vertical arm of the " " comprising the stop, the pedal element being pivoted on said fixing element, in such a way to be pushed and to movable laterally.
Preferably, said pedal element, in this embodiment, is divided in two hinged parts, one upper part and a lower part. Furthermore, according to the invention, said bucking means are comprised of a bucking spring, provided at the rear and/or at the front of said pedal element.
Still according to the invention, they are provided at least a lower button, on which the rear part of the foot, and at least an upper button, on which the foot sole acts.
Particularly, said upper button can allow the sliding of the controls before sending the chosen control, pushing the pedal element.
Furthermore, according to the invention, chosen control is activated by the action on at least one pedal provided on the lateral or horizontal movements.
Said sliding can be of the vocal type and/or can be displayed.
The present invention will be now described, for illustrative but not limitative purposes, according to its preferred embodiments, with particular reference to the figures of the enclosed drawings, wherein: figure 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the pedal according to the invention; figure 2 is a lateral view of the pedal of figure 1 ; figure 3 is a top view of the pedal of figure 1 ; figure 4 is e rear view of the pedal of figure 1 ; figure 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the pedal according to the invention; figure 6 is a lateral view of the pedal of figure 5; figure 7 is a tpp view of the pedal of figure 5; and figure 8 is a rear view of the pedal of figure 5. Making first reference to figures 1 - 4 of the enclosed drawings, it is shown a pedal according to the invention, generically indicated by reference number 1 , providing a resting base 2, with two lateral brackets 3 for pivoting the real pedal 4, by the pin 5. At the rear and under the pedal 4, on said base 2, it is provided a ledge or stop 6. Said pedal 4 is pivoted on said pin 5 in such a way to be able to make a downward stroke (toward said stop 6 element), bucked by a spring (not shown) tending to bring the same in the position shown in the figures. In the lower part of said pedal 4 a first button 7 is provided in such a position to substantially allow to operate by the heel of the shoe. Particularly, by said button 7 it is possible operate the electric horn.
On the upper part of the pedal 4 it is provided a second button 8, on which it is possible to operate by the front part of the foot. By said button, it is possible to control, in sequence, for example, all the controls relevant to the windshield wiper, the running lights, high beams and low beams, etc. Button 28 can be pushed in sequence up to reaching the wished control (information relevant to the control can be obtained by voice communication and/or displayed).
Now, pedal 4 is pushed down, up to the ledge 6, setting the wished control. To disengage the control, it is necessary to act exactly in the same way.
Always on the upper part of the pedal 4, two fins 9, 10 are provided, pivoted on two pins 1 1 , 1 2. Displacing laterally rightward or leftward the foot, the user interacts with said two fins 9, 10, to engage or disengage a further control, for example the turn indicators. In the specification of the embodiment shown in figures 5 - 8, the same reference numbers with the add of 2 or 3 in front will be used to describe similar components.
In figures 5 - 8 it is shown a pedal according to the invention, generically indicated by the reference number 21 , providing a resting base 22, at the end of which the real pedal 24 is fixed by the pin 23 and the nut 25. In this case, the pedal 24 is divided into a lower part 24' and an upper part 24", hinged along the pin 33. Said base 22 has a rear portion 26, realising a ledge or stop for the upper part of the pedal 24".
In the lower part 24' of said pedal 24 a first button 27 is provided in such a position to substantially allow to operate by the heel of the shoe. Particularly, by said button 27 it is possible operate the electric horn.
On the upper part 24" of the pedal 24 it is provided a second button 28, on which it is possible to operate by the front part of the foot. By said button 28, it is possible to control, in sequence, for example, all the controls relevant to the windshield wiper, the running lights, high beams and low beams, etc. Button 28 can be pushed in sequence up to reaching the wished control (information relevant to the control can be obtained by voice communication and/or displayed) . Now, pedal 24 is pushed down, up to the ledge 26, setting the wished control. To disengage the control, it is necessary to act exactly in the same way.
Always on the upper part 24" of the pedal 24, two fins 29,
30 are provided. Displacing laterally rightward or leftward the foot, the user interacts with said two fins 29, 30, determining the rotation of the pedal 24 about the pin 23, to engage or disengage a further control, for example the turn indicators.
The present invention has been described for illustrative but not limitative purposes, according to its preferred embodiments, but it is to be understood that modifications and/or changes can be introduced by those skilled in the art without departing from the relevant scope as defined in the enclosed claims.
