Abstract
An accelerator and brake pedal device includes a connecting lever, a brake pedal assembly, an accelerator pedal assembly, an accelerator control circuit, and a resisting member. The brake pedal assembly is coupled to the connecting lever. The accelerator pedal assembly is rotatably coupled to the brake pedal assembly. The accelerator control circuit has an accelerator control switch. The resisting member is positioned on the connecting lever away from the brake pedal assembly. The accelerator control switch is resisted to turn off by the resisting member and break the accelerator control circuit. The resisting member is moved by the accelerator pedal assembly toward the accelerator control switch. The accelerator control circuit is rendered inoperative when the resisting member is moved by the accelerator pedal assembly toward the accelerator control switch. The accelerator control circuit is rendered operative when the accelerator pedal assembly is released.
