Abstract
Abstract A locking device for the pedals of a motor vehicle is comprised of a first rigid support with a first rigid bar mounted at one end to the first support and perpendicular thereto. A second rigid bar is mounted at one end thereof to the first rigid support and in spaced relation and parallel to the first rigid bar. A second rigid support is mounted to the other end of the first and second rigid bar and parallel to the first support. At least and preferably one of the above elements are positionably removable. A locking means is provided to lock the positionably removable element or elements and fix the position of the structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
238 words
In a motor vehicle having a floor with operational pedals including a brake pedal with actuating arms proximate to said floor, the improvement comprising a removable locking device for at least one of said operational pedals comprised of: a. a first rigid support in contact with the floor of the motor vehicle and generally perpendicular thereto; b. a first rigid bar permanently mounted on one end thereof along said support and perpendicular thereto; c. a second rigid bar permanently mounted at one end thereof along said first support, parallel to said first rigid bar and in spaced relation thereto, to allow the brake actuating arm to pass between said first and second bar and to prevent passage of the brake pedal between said first and second bar, said rigid bars being in spaced relation from said floor; d. apertures in each of said rigid bars at the other end thereof; e. a second rigid support in contact with the floor of said motor vehicle and generally perpendicular thereto, said second rigid support removably mounted to the other end of said first and second rigid bars through said apertures and said second support parallel to said first support; said first and second supports maintaining the position of said first and second bars to prevent downward travel of the brake pedal; and, f. means for locking said second rigid support in said apertures in the first and second rigid bars.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
238 words
In a motor vehicle having a floor with operational pedals including a brake pedal with actuating arms proximate to said floor, the improvement comprising a removable locking device for at least one of said operational pedals comprised of: a. a first rigid support in contact with the floor of the motor vehicle and generally perpendicular thereto; b. a first rigid bar permanently mounted on one end thereof along said support and perpendicular thereto; c. a second rigid bar permanently mounted at one end thereof along said first support, parallel to said first rigid bar and in spaced relation thereto, to allow the brake actuating arm to pass between said first and second bar and to prevent passage of the brake pedal between said first and second bar, said rigid bars being in spaced relation from said floor; d. apertures in each of said rigid bars at the other end thereof; e. a second rigid support in contact with the floor of said motor vehicle and generally perpendicular thereto, said second rigid support removably mounted to the other end of said first and second rigid bars through said apertures and said second support parallel to said first support; said first and second supports maintaining the position of said first and second bars to prevent downward travel of the brake pedal; and, f. means for locking said second rigid support in said apertures in the first and second rigid bars.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The device of claim 1 which includes an extending member parallel to said rigid bars to prevent the downward travel of the accelerator pedal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said rigid supports are adjustable in length.
