Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pedal travel transducer has sensors and a pedal unit which has a pedal travel transducer. The pedal travel transducer has a transducer which experiences a movement of the pedal through an elastic driver that is connected to the pedal so that the sensors register this movement.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A pedal travel transducer having a sensor system, the pedal travel transducer comprising: a pedal; a shaft; a resilient driver connected to the pedal, the resilient driver including an elasticity configured to compensate for deformations during activation of the pedal, wherein the resilient driver is attached to the shaft; and a transducer magnet, that experiences a movement of the pedal through the resilient driver, and that is configured to move, via the resilient driver, in response to the movement of the pedal such that the sensor system senses movement of the transducer magnet, wherein the shaft is operatively connected to the transducer magnet; wherein the resilient driver is configured to prevent transmission of an elastic activation deformation of the pedal to the sensor system. 2. The pedal travel transducer of claim 1 , the resilient driver including a bend, such that the resilient driver constitutes a mechanical filter which enables, at least in part, the elasticity of the resilient driver. 3. The pedal travel transducer of claim 1 , wherein the elasticity is configured to enable the resilient driver to elastically deform during the activation of the pedal. 4. The pedal travel transducer of claim 3 , wherein the resilient driver is configured to assume an un-deformed shape after activation of the pedal concludes. 5. A pedal travel transducer that is for a pedal and that has a sensor system, the pedal travel transducer comprising: a shaft; a resilient driver configured to connect to a pedal, the resilient driver including an elasticity configured to compensate for deformations during activation of the pedal, wherein the resilient driver is attached to the shaft; and a transducer magnet that experiences a movement of the pedal through the resilient driver, and that is configured to move, via the resilient driver, in response to the movement of the pedal such that the sensor system senses movement of the transducer magnet, wherein the shaft is operatively connected to the transducer magnet; wherein the resilient driver is configured to prevent transmission of an elastic activation deformation of the pedal to the sensor system. 6. The pedal travel transducer of claim 5 , the resilient driver including a bend, such that the resilient driver constitutes a mechanical filter which enables, at least in part, the elasticity of the resilient driver. 7. The pedal travel transducer of claim 5 , wherein the elasticity is configured to enable the resilient driver to elastically deform during the activation of the pedal. 8. The pedal travel transducer of claim 7 , wherein the resilient driver is configured to assume an un-deformed shape after activation of the pedal concludes.
