Abstract: An adjustable pedal apparatus for a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a pedal that can be translated in a longitudinal fashion parallel to the vehicle floor. The pedal is translated by use of a screw that is threadedly attached to the pedal and also pivotally attached to a motion linkage. The position and movement of the motion linkage is uniform irrespective of the longitudinal position of the pedal. The pedal includes a pivot pin that is received by a slot formed in a body structure; translation of the pedal along screw causes longitudinal movement of the pivot pin the said slot. The pivot pin is free to translate within said slot while the pedal is not depressed, when the pedal is depressed the pivot pin becomes fixed longitudinally by a camming formation and locking element arrangement. This allows depression of the pedal to cause the pedal to pivot about the pivot pin.

Abstract: An active vehicle front structure for energy management including a bumper movable from a retracted position during low speed maneuvering and parking to an extended position during operation of the vehicle over a pre-defined threshold speed. The bumper in the extended position serves to extend the crumple zone, reducing overall vehicle damage, and to increase the time over which vehicle decelerates during a collision, reducing the likelihood and severity of injuries to occupants of the vehicle.

Abstract: An adjustable pedal apparatus for a motor vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a pedal that can be translated in a longitudinal fashion parallel to the vehicle floor. The apparatus includes a pedal pivotally attached to a pivot pin. The pivot pin is threadedly attached to a powered screw to allow translation thereon in response to rotation of the screw. The pivot pin is received in a second longitudinal slot formed in a base formation. An attachment link is pivotally attached to the pivot pin and includes an elongated opening for receiving a driving pin and a pushrod attachment. Driving pin and pushrod attachment are free to slide and pivot with their attachment to the attachment link. A power link is also provided. The power link is pivotally attached to the pedal at an elevation lower than the pivot pin. The power link also includes an elongated opening. The power link opening is adapted to receive the driving pin as well as a stationary pin disposed at an elevation comparable with the pivot pin of the pedal. Both the driving pin and the stationary pin are capable of sliding and rotating within the elongated opening of the power link. As the pedal is depressed the power link forces the driving link rearward, and the driving pin in connection with the attachment link and pivot pin drive the pushrod to activate the desired function of the vehicle. This operation of the pushrod holds true irrespective of the location of the pivot pin on the powered screw.
Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于机动车辆的可调踏板装置。 该装置包括可以平行于车辆地板的纵向平移的踏板。 该装置包括枢转地附接到枢轴销的踏板。 枢轴销螺纹连接到动力螺钉,以便响应于螺杆的旋转而在其上平移。 枢轴销被容纳在形成在基部结构中的第二纵向槽中。 连接连杆枢转地附接到枢轴销,并且包括用于接收驱动销和推杆附件的细长开口。 驱动销和推杆附件可自由滑动并与附件链接枢转。 还提供电源链路。 动力连杆以低于枢轴销的高度可枢转地附接到踏板。 动力连杆还包括细长的开口。 动力连接开口适于接收驱动销以及以与踏板的枢转销相当的高度设置的固定销。 驱动销和固定销都能够在动力链节的细长开口内滑动和旋转。 当踏板被压下时,动力连杆迫使驱动连杆向后,并且与连接杆和枢轴销连接的驱动销驱动推杆来启动车辆的所需功能。 无论弹簧螺钉上枢轴销的位置如何,推杆的这种操作都是正确的。
