Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pedal force adjusting apparatus for an accelerator pedal regulates a resilient force of a resilient member through movement of an upper carrier and a lower carrier due to rotation of a lead screw. Accordingly, a pedal force of a pedal arm can be easily regulated if necessary.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A pedal force adjusting apparatus for an accelerator pedal, comprising: a lead screw including opposite ends which pass through a carrier housing and a carrier housing cover so as to rotate about an axis thereof with respect to the carrier housing and the carrier housing cover; an upper carrier threadedly coupled to the lead screw such that the lead screw passes through the upper carrier and the upper carrier is moved along the lead screw within the carrie…
