Abstract
A brake booster assembly having a brake booster body and a pushrod as well as a pushrod-pedal coupler are provided. The pushrod travels along a pushrod axis when being pushed. The brake booster assembly includes a pushrod-pedal coupler. The pushrod-pedal coupler comprises a pushrod-attachment end arranged on the pushrod and defining a longitudinal axis parallel to the pushrod axis. A pedal-attachment end is configured to be attached to a pedal and having a pedal pivot axis around which the pedal pivots when being pushed. The pedal pivot axis extends across the longitudinal axis. A coupler hinge is arranged between the pushrod-attachment end and the pedal-attachment end and connects the pushrod-attachment end with the pedal-attachment end. The coupler hinge has a coupler hinge axis that extends across the longitudinal axis and the pedal pivot axis. The pedal pivot axis and the coupler hinge axis are offset along the longitudinal axis.
