Patent

CA 2341128

An arrangement (1) is provided for permitting retraction of a vehicle foot pedal, operable on a push rod, in a frontal crash of sufficient magnitude, in which arrangement the push rod (11) is of low ductability material, having a zone of weakness; a rotary member (6) is attached to, and mounted on the blade (2) for frec rotation about a pivot (7), by which rotary member the blade (2) is operationally coupled to the push rod; and displacement means (16) is provided to cause partial rotation of the rotary member (6) upon a frontal impact of sufficient magnitude, to apply a bending moment to the push rod to map the push rod (11) at its zone of weak- ness (W), thereby disconnecting the push rod (11) from the blade (2) to permit free blade/pedal movement, and hence to permit retraction away from the feet of the driver.
