A pedal security system for pedal mounting, particularly for motor vehicles, includes a pedal rotatably mounted on a pedal axis, an opening for receiving and retaining the pedal axis which is connected with an expandable slot wherein the expandable slot receives the pedal axis by exceeding a mechanical limit load of the pedal axis.

Pedal security system

A connecting element is illustrated, suited for releasably connecting a first component and a second component, particularly for releasably connecting an actuator with a pedal of a motor vehicle, wherein forces parallel to the assembly direction are transmitted by the connecting element. The connecting element comprises a connecting mechanism which is attached to the second component and a sled, which can receive a fastening end of the first part and which latches in the connecting mechanism in its fastening position. The connecting mechanism is preferably configured in one-piece-form as a housing, wherein the sled, which is connected to the actuator, is connected to the housing in fastened condition and wherein the sled can be released by means of a tool.

Connecting element

The present invention provides a connecting element for releasably connecting a first () and a second component () particularly a lever with another lever or a brake pedal with the plunger rod in a motor vehicle. The connecting element comprises a connecting means () which is attached to or part of a second component () and a dome shaped sledge () attached to a first component () wherein the dome shaped sledge () is latched in the connecting means () by sliding from an assembling in a fastening position. Additionally, a connecting element is provided comprising preferred a two-piece connecting means () attached to a pedal () and a modulator (), respectively, wherein a sledge frame () is releasable latched in a housing (). The connecting element enables a load transmission parallel to the assembling direction.
