Abstract

In a device for the transmission of motion from an accelerator pedal to a power output control element of an internal combustion engine fitted with an automatic power transmission including a motion transfer lever linked to the accelerator pedal, an operating lever is arranged adjacent to the motion transfer lever such that both are pivotable about the same axis and a kick down spring engages the two levers with one another for movement in unison until the operating lever reaches a full load end position beyond which only the motion transfer lever can be moved against the force of the kickdown spring for engagement with an actuating means for initiating shifting of the transmission.
