The spring is connected at the first end to the pedal and at the second end to the horizontal member at a second position. Depressing the pedal within a first range of angles causes the spring to exert a reactive force that increases at a rate having a first maximum slope. In contrast, depressing the pedal within a second range of angles causes the spring to exert a reactive force that increases at a rate having a second maximum slope.
Another notable patent is an articulating mechanism for a vehicle door. This mechanism utilizes a first mechanism with a first motion profile and a second mechanism with a second motion profile. To open the door, the first mechanism begins its motion profile before the second mechanism starts its motion profile. Conversely, to close the door, the second mechanism completes its motion profile before the first mechanism finishes its motion profile.
