OF HOUSTON, TEXAS I :uoroa VEHICLE a'r'racmmn'r This invention relates to new and useful 'im rovements in a motor vehicle attachment.
' ne object of the invention is to provide an attachment of the character described which isassociated with the gear shift lever, of a motor vehicle, and is operatively connected with the valve of the carburetor which controls the feed of the motive fluid to the motor and through which the supply of said motive '10 fuel may be conveniently and easily, controlled by the hand ofthe operator.
.With the above and other objects in view thisinvention has particular relation to certain novel features of'construction, operation and arrangement of parts an example of.
which is given in this specification and illustrated in the -accomp'anyingdrawings, where 1n f Figure 1 shows a side elevation of an internal combustion motor showing the attach-' ment applied thereto, and
. I view, showing the attachment in section.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures the numeral 1 designates an internal combustion motor, having the conventional earbureter 2 connected with the intake manifold 3 301thereof. Thecarbureter has the usual valve for controlling the feed of the motive fuel to the motor and attached to the valve stem 4 there is the arm 5. v The numeral 6 designates a yieldably mounted accelerator pedal which works through the vehicle foot board 7 and whose. lower end is connected to one end of the pivotally mounted lever 8. The free end of the .arm 5 and the other end of the-lever 8 are connected by the link 9, said lever 8 being pivoted to the underside of said foot board intermediate the ends'of said lever.
When the pedal 6 is depressed the carbureter feed valve will-be opened, through the mechanism described, and vice versa.
,. The numeral 10 designates the upstanding gear shift lever, which is connected to the transmisslon gears in any conventional man-- ner. Clamped to the lever 10are the bearing members 11, 11, having the aligned bearings in which the rod 12 is slidably mounted. The
Figure 2 shows a fragmentary rear end.
upper end 'of the gear shift lever 10.'has a hand grip'13, and beneath and adjacent said grip there is a bracket 14 attached to the lever 10. A bell crank 15 is pivoted to the bracket 14 and one of its arms is pivoted to the upper end of the rod 12 while its other end is ex tended forming the grip lever 16. Beneath the lower bearing member 11, the rod 12 is formed with a universal joint 17. The transmission case 18 has the transversely aligned upstanding bearings 19, 19 in which is mounted a shaft 20. Fixed to one end of the shaft 20 there is an arm 21 whose free end is pivoted to the lower end of the rod 12 and fixed to the other end of the shaft 20 there is an arm 21 whose free endis pivoted to one end of the reach rod 23. The other end of this reach' rod is upturned and formed with a bearing '24 in which the link 9 works and behind said feed of the motive fuel may be operated in the usual waythrou h the accelerator mechanism. described. t times however it: is desirable to give the motor additional 76 when both feet of the driver are occupied with-the clutch and brake pedals and during the process of shifting the transmission gears. In such case the leverv 16 may be gripped, while said gears are being shifted, a0 and this will operate, through the rods 12 p and 23,' and their connections, to move the link 9 rearwardly and thus open the carbureter controlling valve as desired.
,While I have shown what I now consider the preferred form of the attachment it is obvious that mechanical chan es may be made therein, and equivalents su stituted for the parts shown and I hereby reserve the right to make such changes, substitutions 9 reach rod one end of which has a slidable bearing on said link and whose other end is operativel connected with said manually operable rod and a stop on said link on one side of said bearing, said manually operable rod being slidable in hearings on said gear shifting rod;
'2. In a motor vehicle a carbureter having a controlling valve, a foot pedal, a connecting said pedal and valve, a gear shlfting rod, a manually operable rod associated with said gear shiftingrod,'a reach rod one endofv which has a bearing on said link and whose, other end is operativelzy connected u with said manually operable rod, and a stop on said link on one side of said bearing, said manually operable rod being slidable in bear.- ings on said gear shifting rod and being composed of sections connected by a universal 20 joint. 7
3.. Thaeombination with a motor vehicle having a motor, a carbureter, a freely movable gear shifting rod and a pedal controlled device operatively. connected with the carbureter controlling valve, of a manually operable rod mounted on said gear shifting rod,
I and means. including a universal joint for operably connecting said rod with said carburefer valve, whereby the carbureter valve may be opened: by the hand operating the gear shifting rod.
4. The combination with amotor vehicle having a motor, a carbureter, a freely movable gear shifting rod and a pedal controlled 35 device operatively connected with the carbureter controlling valve, of a manually operable rod slidably mounted on the gear shiftfing red, auxiliary means for operatin said pedal controlled device and havinga shdable a connection therewith, and a universal joint connecting said manually op'erablerod and auxiliary means. g i/- 5. In a motor vehicle, a carbureter having a controlling valve, a foot pedal, a link con- 5 necting said pedal ,and'valve, a freely movable gear shitting rod, a manually operable rod slidably mounted on said gear shifting rod, a.reach rod, one end of which has a slid- "ableibearing on said link, a universal joint connecting .the' other end of said rod with the manually operable rod, and a stop onsaid llllk on one sideof said bearing.
.In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thls specification.- i
