Description

1 TARIFF PEDAL BAR MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES Technical Area 5 The invention is a pedal barrier system used in automatic transmission vehicles in the automotive industry. It is related to. The invention specifically addresses the change in drivers' habits of using manual transmissions to automatic transmissions. This can cause undesirable behaviors in vehicles, such as reflexively pressing the brake pedal. It is related to the pedal barrier system, which physically prevents this from happening. State of the Art Driving safety in road vehicles depends on the driver pressing the pedals correctly and without reflexes. It is directly related to their ability to use it. Especially in manual transmission vehicles, drivers He has been accustomed to a three-pedal system for a long time. In manual transmission vehicles, it is on the left. The clutch is located in the middle, the brake pedal in the center, and the gas pedal on the right. Due to this layout, drivers... controlling the clutch pedal with only the left foot, and this behavior, repeated thousands of times... As a result, it becomes embedded in muscle memory (procedural memory). Automatic transmission vehicles do not have a clutch pedal. The driver can only control the clutch by pressing the right side. He controls the brake and gas pedals with his foot; the only space reserved for the left foot is usually... This is the passive area called the "footrest" (dead pedal). However, manual 25 Drivers who are used to shifting gears, especially in sudden situations or when trying to avoid them... In his disarray, he is able to reflexively extend his left foot towards the middle brake pedal. This behavior poses a serious safety risk that could lead to accidents. The solutions to this problem experienced in automatic transmission vehicles with current technology are 30. It remains limited. The awareness training given in driving schools is not sufficient for all users. It cannot provide a permanent solution to their profiles. It has electronic warning systems. In vehicles, it is usually activated when the brake pedal is pressed suddenly, but this The solution is reactive in nature and therefore has no preventive function. Automatic transmission. Structures such as "footrests" found in vehicles provide a passive position for the left foot. 35 It provides comfort but does not function as a physical barrier. 2 The current patent literature describes various footrests designed to enhance driver comfort. These systems have been incorporated. However, in these systems, the driver's reflexes are not braked. anything that physically limits or directs you before you reach for your pedal The structure is undefined. In conclusion, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the current solutions, This has made it necessary to make improvements in the technical field. The purpose of the invention The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and the related technical with pedal barrier system for automatic transmission vehicles that bring new advantages to the field It is related. The main purpose of the invention is to prevent the involuntary braking of the left foot in automatic transmission vehicles. prevents the driver from reaching for the pedal, directs driver reflexes, and shapes habits. The goal is to create a barrier system that supports its safe reconstruction. The aim of the invention is to recreate the reflexes that have developed as a result of being accustomed to manual transmission. supporting training and gradually increasing the driver's left foot to the brake pedal. a barrier system that enables the person to consciously abandon directive behavior to reveal. Another aim of the invention is to be able to easily integrate into different vehicle models and A barrier system that offers ease of installation thanks to its detachable and reattachable structure. 25 to reveal. To fulfill all the purposes stated above and those that can be derived from the detailed explanation. The invention, which can be brought about, is used in automatic transmission vehicles in the automotive sector. The habit of using manual transmission among drivers is 30% in automatic transmission vehicles. causing undesirable behaviors such as reflexively pressing the brake pedal is a barrier that prevents - In an automatic transmission vehicle, the footrest is located to the right of the driver's left. perpendicularly between the natural trajectory of your foot and the brake pedal. positioned and the driver's left foot involuntarily and suddenly reflexively applies the brake 35 This is related to the fact that it contains a body that physically prevents the person from moving towards the pedal. 3 The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. And thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures, it becomes clearer. This will be understood as such. Therefore, the evaluation should also include these forms and detailed explanations. This should be done taking this into consideration. 5 Ways to Help Understand the Discovery Figure 1: General view of the barrier that is the subject of the invention. Figure 2: The barrier, the subject of the invention, positioned inside the vehicle. 10 It is the appearance. Explanation of Part References 10. Body 15 20. Support plate 30. Base holder B. Barrier A. Footrest 20 F. Brake pedal Detailed Description of Find In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives to the barrier (B) that is the subject of the invention are only 25 to better understand the subject and without any limiting influence It is explained in a way that will not create a problem. Figure 1 shows the general view of the barrier (B) which is the subject of the invention. Accordingly, the barrier (B) in its most basic form; in an automatic transmission vehicle, a 30-degree angle to the right of the footrest (A). a body (10) positioned in such a way that at least one of the lower surfaces of the body (10) extending sideways from the edge and supporting the upright position of the body (10) The support plate (20) which prevents it from falling, is located on the lower surface of the body (10) and Includes a holder (30) that secures the body (10) to the vehicle floor. 35 4 The body (10) forming the main structure of the barrier (B) subject to the invention is preferably rectangular. It is a plate in the form of a plate, located to the right of the footrest (A) in an automatic transmission vehicle. a perpendicular line between the driver's left foot's natural trajectory and the brake pedal (F) It is positioned as follows. The body (10) is positioned from the driver's seat floor, driver It is at a height that corresponds to the natural lifting height of your foot. 5 The body (10), positioned to the right of the footrest (A), is on the driver's left the physical movement of the foot to the brake pedal (F) with an involuntary, sudden reflex to prevent and keep the driver's left foot on the footrest (A) This encourages drivers who are accustomed to using manual transmissions to use the left side. The sudden reflex movement of the foot towards the brake pedal (F) hitting the body (10) 10 By stopping the vehicle, the risk of accidents was prevented. At least one edge of the lower surface of the body (10), preferably where the brake pedal (F) is located a support plate (20) positioned on the left edge surface towards the side It extends. The support plate (20) in question keeps the body (10) in an upright position 15 It prevents it from falling by providing support. In an alternative configuration of the invention... support plate (20), on both the right and left sides of the lower surface of the body (10). It can extend sideways from the surface. To ensure the body (10) can be fixed to the vehicle floor in a removable and attachable manner, attach it to its bottom surface. The holder (30) is connected. The holder (30) is preferably a hook and loop fastener. or it may be a screw fastener. As shown in Figure 2, the body (10) has a footrest in the automatic transmission vehicle. (A) to the right side, with the natural trajectory of the driver's left foot, brake pedal (F) 25 positioned vertically between and on the ground by means of the holder (30) With the connection, the barrier (B) assembly is completed.
