Abstract: An adjustable pedal assembly (10) includes a support structure (12) adapted to connect to a vehicle, with the support structure defining first and second slots (14, 16) arranged in a spaced-apart manner. A pedal assembly (18) is disposed adjacent the support structure (12), where the pedal assembly (18) includes a pedal (20). First and second pins (22, 24) extend from the pedal assembly (18) through the first and second slots (14, 16) whereby the pedal assembly (18) is supported for sliding movement on the support structure (12) along the slots (14, 16). A linear actuator (26) is interconnected with the pedal assembly (18) for sliding the pedal assembly (18) to a desired position along the support structure (12). The invention may be adapted for use in connection with brake pedals, clutch pedals, and accelerator pedals. In the case of accelerator pedals, the invention can be adapted for use with conventional pedals as well as electronic throttle control pedals.
