Abstract
A brake lock system for a motorized wheeled vehicle having a throttle pedal and a primary brake pedal operable to effect braking of the vehicle, includes a brake lock pedal supported proximate the primary brake pedal to enable actuation by the operator during application of foot pressure to the primary brake pedal. The brake local pedal is pivotally supported by an over-center linkage arrangement movable to an over-center condition in response to actuation of the brake lock pedal so as to lock the primary brake pedal in a braking condition. A release pin is operatively associated with the over-center linkage arrangement and responsive to actuation of the throttle pedal to release the over-center linkage arrangement and enable return of the primary brake pedal to a non-braking condition.
