Abstract

The pedal (5) has several sections (6,7,10), with a fixing lug (13) at the rear of the foot plate section (6) adjacent its top edge. This lug (13) is secured to the end of a depending lever arm (3) attached to the wall of the footwell and via a hinged socket element (15) receiving the end of the lever arm (3). At the bottom of the foot plate section (6) is a short intermediate section (7), followed by a sleeve section (10) fitting over a right angle fixing bracket (11), attached to the rear wall of the footwell near the base. The end of the sleeve section (10) is embedded in the second insulating mat (1) covering the inside wall of the body panel (2) defining the footwell.

Description

"Alehrgliedriges Fahrpedal aus Kunststoff""Articulated plastic accelerator pedal"

Die Erfindung betrifft ein mehrgliedriges Fahrpedal aus Kunststoff fiir Fahrzeuge, dessen Glieder über werkstoffintegrierte Filmscharniere untereinander scharnierartig verbunden sind, wobei im Bereich des oberen Endes der Fußplatte des Pedals von deren Rückseite ein Verbindungsteil zur gelenkigen Verbindung der Fußplatte mit einem in den Fußraum hängenden schwenkbaren llebel abragt, und an dem Verbindungsteil iiber ein Filmscharnier ein Befestigungsglied angelenkt ist, in dem eine Bohrung zur Aufnahme des freien Endes des Iiebels angeordnet ist, und wobei das untere Ende des Fahrpedals gelenkig mit einem weiteren Glied verbunden ist.The invention relates to a multi-part plastic accelerator pedal for vehicles, the links of which are connected to one another via material-integrated film hinges are connected like a hinge, in the area of the upper end of the footplate of the Pedals from the back a connecting part for the articulated connection of the footplate protrudes with a pivotable lapel hanging in the footwell, and on the connecting part A fastening member is articulated via a film hinge, in which a bore is arranged to receive the free end of the lever, and wherein the lower end of the accelerator pedal is articulated to a further link.

Ein derartiges Fahrpedal ist der DE-OS 27 28 787 als bekannt zu entnehmen. Das dort dargestellte Doppelfilmscharnier liegt im oberen Teil des Fahrpedals im Bereich der Verbindung mit dem Ilebel und ist dort relativ hohen Kräften ausgesetzt, was u. U. zu gewissen Schwierigkeiten hinsichtlich der Lebensdauer des Fahrpedals führen kann.Such an accelerator pedal can be found in DE-OS 27 28 787 as known. The double film hinge shown there is in the upper part of the accelerator pedal Area of connection with the ilebel and is exposed to relatively high forces there, which may lead to certain difficulties with regard to the service life of the accelerator pedal can lead.

rin weiterer Nachteil einer derartigen Konstruktion ist darin zu sehen, daß in dem Bereich, in dem das Fahrpedal unten am Fahrzeugboden befestigt ist, ein Ausschnitt in dem heute üblicherweise bei Personenkraftwagen vorhandenen Bodenteppich vorgesehen werden muß.Another disadvantage of such a construction is that that in the area in which the accelerator pedal is attached to the bottom of the vehicle floor, a Detail in the floor carpet that is usually found in passenger cars today must be provided.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Nachteile der bekannten Anordnung zu vermeiden und ein Fahrpedal der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung so weiterzubilden, daß eine hohe lebensdauer der Filmscharniere sichergesteilt ist und außerdem eine einfache untere nefestigung möglich wird.The present invention was therefore based on the object of addressing these disadvantages to avoid the known arrangement and an accelerator pedal as described above Further develop the genus in such a way that the film hinges have a long service life and a simple lower attachment is also possible.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß dieses weitere Glied als Zwischenstück ausgebildet ist, das an seinem anderen Ende gleichfalls iiber ein Filmschal nier mit einem Befestigungsstück verbunden ist, und daß das Verbindungsteil starr mit der Fußplatte des Fahrpedals verbunden ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that this further link is designed as an intermediate piece, which also has at its other end a film scarf nier is connected to a fastening piece, and that the connecting part is rigidly connected to the footplate of the accelerator pedal.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung soll im folgenden anhand eines in der Zeichnung in einer Seitenansicht mit geschnittenem Fahrzeugboden dargestel lten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erltiut ert werden.The object of the invention is to be based on one in the Drawing shown in a side view with a cut vehicle floor Embodiment are explained in more detail.

In dem durch den Boden 1 des Fahrzeugs und die Spritzwand gebildeten fußraum ist u. a. ein Fahrpedal 5 und ein um einen Drehpunkt 4 schwenkbarer, in den Fußraum hineinhängender Hebel 3 angeordnet, der gelenkig an das Fahrpedal angekoppelt ist.In that formed by the floor 1 of the vehicle and the bulkhead footwell is, among other things. an accelerator pedal 5 and one pivotable about a pivot point 4, in arranged in the footwell hanging lever 3, which is articulated to the accelerator pedal is.

Das Fahrpedal 5 besteht aus Kunststoff und ist melIrgliedrig ausgeführt, wobei die einzelnen Glieder des Fahrpedals iiber werkstoffintegrierte Filmscharniere untereinander gelenkig in Verbindung stellen. Der wesentliche Teil des Fahrpedals ist die Fußplatte 6, an deren unterem Ende iiber ein Filmscharnier 9 ein Zwischenstück 7 angebracht ist, das an seinem anderen Ende iiber ein weiteres Filmscharnier 8 gelenkig mit einem Befestigungsstück 10 verbunden ist.The accelerator pedal 5 is made of plastic and has multiple links, The individual links of the accelerator pedal via integral film hinges articulately connect with each other. The essential part of the accelerator pedal is the base plate 6, at the lower end of which there is an intermediate piece via a film hinge 9 7 is attached, which at its other end via a further film hinge 8 is articulated to a fastening piece 10.

Dieses Befestigungsstiick 10 kann auf eine an der Spritzwand 2 angeschweiXte Aufsteckkonsolelufgeschoben und in nicht näher dargestellter Weise mit einer Schraube oder einer sonstigen Sicherung befestigt werden. Durch diese Befestigung des Fahrpedals 5 an der Spritzwand 2 ist ein Ausschnitt im Bodenteppich 12 nicht erforderlich.This fastening piece 10 can be welded onto a bulkhead 2 Aufsteckkonsolelufgeschoben and in a manner not shown with a screw or any other securing device. By this attachment of the accelerator pedal 5 on the bulkhead 2, a cutout in the floor carpet 12 is not required.

Im Bereicl1 des oberen Endes der Fußplatte 6 ragt von deren ltückseite ein starres Verbindungsteil 13 ab, an dessen nnderem Ende über ein weiteres Filmscharnier 14 ein Befestigungsglied 15 angelenkt ist.In the region of the upper end of the footplate 6 protrudes from its rear side a rigid connecting part 13, at its lower end via another film hinge 14 a fastening member 15 is articulated.

In diesem Befestigungsglied 15 ist eine Bohrung vorgesehen, in die das in etwa gradlinig verlaufende freie Ende des hebels 3 eingefiihrt werden kann. Das Befestigungsglied selbst bewegt sich in einer Aussparung des - in Seitenansicht gesehen -bogenförmig ausgebildeten Verbindungsteils 13.In this fastening member 15 a bore is provided into which the approximately straight running free end of the lever 3 can be introduced. The fastening member itself moves in a recess of the - in side view seen -bow-shaped connecting part 13.

Die Bohrung weist einseitig eine Erweiterung auf, der am unteren freien Ende des hebels 3 ein entsprechend geformter Ansatz 16 zugeordnet ist, so daß der hebel 3 hier etwa nockenförmig geformt ist. Bei der Montage wird der Ansatz 16 des hebels 3 durch die Erweiterung der Bohrung geschoben und anschließend wird der hebel gegeniiber dem Befestigungsglied 15 um ca. 1800 in seine Konstruktionslage gedreht, so daß ein Durchtritt durch die Bohrung nach oben nicht mehr möglich ist. In dieser Stellung liegt auf der Oberseite des Befestigungsgliedes 15 eine Ringwulst 17 des Hebels 3 auf, so daß in beiden Richtungen eine axiale Sicherung erreicht ist.The bore has an enlargement on one side, the one on the lower free one The end of the lever 3 is assigned a correspondingly shaped projection 16, so that the lever 3 here is approximately cam-shaped. During assembly, the approach 16 of the lever 3 pushed through the widening of the hole and then the lever rotated by approx. 1800 in relation to the fastening member 15 into its construction position, so that a passage through the hole upwards is no longer possible. In this Position is on the top of the fastening member 15 an annular bead 17 of the Lever 3, so that an axial lock is achieved in both directions.
