Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A FLUID PRESSURE MOTOR MECHANISM COMPRISING A PRESSURE RESPONSIVE UNIT HAVING A PRESSURE CHAMBER AT ONE SIDE THEREOF, A VALVE MECHANISM CONNECTED BETWEEN SAID PRESSURE CHAMBER AND A SOURCE OF PRESSURE AND OPERABLE FOR SUPPLYING FLUID PRESSURE TO SAID PRESSURE CHAMBER TO MOVE SAID PRESSURE RESPONSIVE UNIT, A PEDAL HAVING A FIRST NORMAL POSITION ENGAGING SAID VALVE MECHANISM AND MOVABLE FROM SUCH POSITION TO OPERATE SAID VALVE MECHANISM, PEDAL CONTROL MEANS INCLUDING FORCE GENERATING MEANS OPERABLE FOR MOVING SAID PEDAL TO A SECOND NORMAL POSITION DISENGAGED FROM SAID VALVE MECHANISM AND FOR MECHANICALLY CONNECTING SAID PEDAL TO SAID PRESSURE RESPONSIVE UNIT, SAID FORCE GENERATING MEANS INCLUDING MOVABLE MEANS HAVING A SURFACE EXPOSED TO PRESSURE IN SAID SOURCE TO NORMALLY MAINTAIN SAID FORCE GENERATING MEANS INOPERATIVE, AND MEANS EXPOSED TO PRESSURE IN SAID SOURCE AND OPERATIVE WHEN SAID PRESSURE DROPS TO A PREDETERMINED POINT FOR EXPOSING SAID SURFACE TO ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
