Hand operated controls for motor vehicle

Claim 2

In a motor vehicle having a conventional automatic gear transmission, a brake pedal, and a fuel flow control foot pedal disposed in a driver compartment, the hand operated vehicle controls comprising: a first push-pull control rod disposed and separately clamped to a fuel flow control foot pedal at a first control rod first terminus, a clamp rotatably secured to said first control rod first terminus and to said fuel flow foot pedal, a second push-pull control rod disposed and separately clamped to a brake pedal at a second control rod first terminus, a second clamp rotatably secured to said second control rod first terminus and to said brake pedal, a bearing plate extending upright from the floor of said driver compartment and adaptively angularly positioned and secured at a base plate to said floor, two guiding and sliding apertures disposed in said upright bearing plate, each one of said apertures holding and guiding a separate said first and second push-pull control rod slidable in said apertures, a brake first lever pivotally secured at a first brake lever terminus to said bearing plate and pivotally secured at a mid-lever location to said second push-pull rod second terminus, the second terminus of said lever formed into a manual hand handle, multiple spaced rod position notches on said first push-pull control rod disposed normal to the rod length on the rod underside adjacent to the driver compartment floor, a lock slot stop disposed in said sliding aperture of said bearing plate, engagable with one of said multiple position notches of said first push-pull control rod, a brake second lever pivotally secured at a first lever terminus to said bearing plate and having a second lever terminus handle curved to rotate forward and upwardly, lift said first push-pull control rod from said lock slot stop, when said brake first lever is cooperatively moved forward, and at least two spring means, each anchored at a first spring means terminus of each means to said bearing plate and at a second terminus of each spring means anchored to said first push-pull rod and said second push-pull rod, providing tension means retracting said first and second push-pull rods to a non-operative position.

Claim 3

A combination as set forth in claim 1, wherein said brake second lever has said second lever terminus disposed parallel to said driver compartment floor.

Claim 4

In a motor vehicle having a conventional automatic gear transmission, a brake pedal, and a fuel flow control foot pedal disposed in a driver compartment, the hand operated vehicle controls comprising: a first push-pull control rod disposed and separately clamped to a fuel flow control foot pedal at a first control rod first terminus, a clamp means rotatably secured to said first control rod first terminus and to said fuel flow foot pedal, a second push-pull control rod disposed and separately clamped to a brake pedal at a second control rod first terminus, a second clamp means rotatably secured to said second control rod first terminus and to said brake pedal, a bearing plate extending upright from the floor of said driver compartment and adaptively angularly positioned and secured at a base plate to said floor. at least two guiding and sliding aperture means disposed in said upright bearing plate, each one of said aperture means holding and guiding a separate said first and second push-pull control rod slidable in said aperture means, a brake first lever pivotally secured at a first brake lever terminus to said bearing plate and pivotally secured at a mid-lever location to said second push-pull rod second terminus, the second terminus of said lever formed into a manual hand handle, multiple means spaced rod position notches on said first push-pull control rod disposed normal to the rod length on the rod underside adjacent to the driver compartment floor, a lock slot stop means disposed in said sliding aperture of said bearing plate, engagable with one of said multiple position notches of said first push-pull control rod, a brake second lever pivotally secured at a first lever terminus to said bearing plate and having a second lever terminus handle curved to rotate forward and upwardly, lift said first push-pull control rod from said lock slot stop, when said brake first lever is cooperatively moved forward, and, at least two spring means, each anchored at a first spring means terminus of each means to said bearing plate and at a second terminus of each spring means anchored to said first push-pull rod and said second push-pull rod, providing tension means retracting said first and second push-pull rods to a non-operative position.

Claim 5

In a motor vehicle having a conventional automatic gear transmission, a brake pedal, and a fuel flow control foot pedal disposed in a driver compartment, the hand operated vehicle controls comprising: a first push-pull control rod disposed and separately clamped to a fuel flow control foot pedal at a first control rod first terminus, a clamp means rotatably secured to said first control rod first terminus and to said fuel flow foot pedal, a second push-pull control rod disposed and separately clamped to a brake pedal at a second control rod first terminus, a second clamp means rotatably secured to said second control rod first terminus and to said brake pedal, a bearing plate extending upright from the floor of said driver compartment and adaptively angularly positioned and secured at a base plate to said floor. at least two guiding and sliding aperture means disposed in said upright bearing plate, each one of said aperture means holding and guiding a separate said first and second push-pull control rod slidable in said aperture means, a brake first lever pivotally secured at a first brake lever terminus to said bearing plate and pivotally secured at a mid-lever location to said second push-pull rod second terminus, the second terminus of said lever formed into a manual hand handle, multiple means spaced rod position notches on said first push-pull control rod disposed normal to the rod length on the rod underside adjacent to the driver compartment floor, a lock slot stop means disposed in said sliding aperture of said bearing plate, engagable with one of said multiple position notches of said first push-pull control rod, a brake second lever pivotally secured at a first lever terminus to said bearing plate and having a second lever terminus handle curved to rotate forward and upwardly, lift said first push-pull control rod from said lock slot stop, when said brake first lever is cooperatively moved forward, and, at least two spring means, each anchored at a first spring means terminus of each means to said bearing plate and at a second terminus of each spring means anchored to said first push-pull rod and said second push-pull rod, providing tension means retracting said first and second push-pull rods to a non-operative position.

Claim 6

A combination as set forth in claim 3, wherein said brake second lever has said second lever terminus disposed parallel to said driver compartment floor.
