Abstract
Abstract A mechanism for control of fuel feed, and for the application of the brakes of motor vehicles with manual or automatic gear change. A single spring-loaded foot pedal, held in idling position, is connected to fuel feed and to brake mechanism. When pressure on it is released the fuel feed is opened continuously, and when it is depressed completely the fuel feed is throttled down to idling. When it is depressed beyong idling position, the brakes are operated, and when it is released, the brakes are released.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
Mechanism, for the control of the fuel feed and for the application of the brakes of front or rear engine driven motor vehicles with manual or automatic gear boxes, comprising a single spring-loaded foot lever in form of a pedal in arrested idling position, said pedal being connected via transmission means both to a fuel feed and to a brake mechanism such that, when the pressure on the pedal is released from the idling position, the fuel feed is opened continuously, and such that when the pedal is depressed completely, the fuel feed is throttled to the idling position, and such that when the pedal is depressed beyond the idling position, the brake mechanism is put into continuous operation, and such that when the pressure on the pedal is released, the brake mechanism is put out of operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
Mechanism, for the control of the fuel feed and for the application of the brakes of front or rear engine driven motor vehicles with manual or automatic gear boxes, comprising a single spring-loaded foot lever in form of a pedal in arrested idling position, said pedal being connected via transmission means both to a fuel feed and to a brake mechanism such that, when the pressure on the pedal is released from the idling position, the fuel feed is opened continuously, and such that when the pedal is depressed completely, the fuel feed is throttled to the idling position, and such that when the pedal is depressed beyond the idling position, the brake mechanism is put into continuous operation, and such that when the pressure on the pedal is released, the brake mechanism is put out of operation.
