Abstract: The adjustable pedal construction may be used, as an example, as a brake pedal, clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, or any other type of pedal intended for use in a vehicle, which is manually or power operated, for actuating purposes. The pedal construction includes an upper pedal part assembly and a lower part pedal part assembly, with the upper pedal part assembly being conventionally pivoted on an existing vehicle pedal bracket thereby requiring no change in the corresponding brake, clutch or accelerator operating linkage. The upper and lower pedal part assemblies include plates which are pivotally connected by a pivot pin. A releasable latching, connecting or locking pin is interposed between the upper and lower pedal part assemblies to permit adjustment therebetween. The adjustable pedal construction has a normal operating position where the pedal parts are releasably locked together by the connecting pin and an inoperative position where the lower pedal part assembly is movable relative to the upper pedal part assembly after the connecting or latching pin has been released to permit adjustments between the assemblies to thereby make the pedal construction adaptable to fit the physical size, safety, comfort and convenience of the vehicle operator.
