Abstract
A foot pedal of one piece construction is formed from a generally elongated member. An aperture is defined by a collar at one end of the elongated member. The inner surface of the collar acts as a bearing surface. At the opposite end of the elongated member, a generally planar surface defines a plate which can be foot actuated. A twisted portion of the elongated member connects the apertured end of the member with the plate. In one embodiment, a connector protrudes from the elongated member in the vicinity of the twisted portion. In another embodiment, the elongated member is made of aluminum and the connector is made of steel alloy.
