Abstract
A mechanism connecting a rate control with a brake control for preventing the rate control from being shifted from a non-driving mode to a driving mode when the brake control means is in its parked mode, including a rod-like member having an offset portion biased to block an accelerator arm of the rate control, and a cam member in contact with the offset portion for allowing the offset portion to shift to its blocking position when the brake control is shifted to the parked mode, and for shifting the offset portion to a position whereat the accelerator arm is free to shift between the driving and non-driving modes when the brake control is in the unbraked mode.
