Nationality: Indian
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] Present disclosure, in general, relates to a field of automobiles. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to adjusting a pedal assembly of a vehicle. Further embodiments of the disclosure relates to a system for adjusting the pedal assembly of the vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[002] Generally, vehicles include a number of pedal assemblies such as a clutch pedal assembly, a brake pedal assembly and an accelerator pedal assembly, disposed inside a cabin of the vehicle. The pedal assemblies may be connected to a firewall of the vehicle and are operated by the driver using legs, to control maneuvering of the vehicle.
[003] Conventionally, the pedal assemblies are fixedly coupled at a standard location of the firewall, based on the configuration of the vehicle. Due to such configuration, it may be difficult for drivers of different physicality to operate the pedal assemblies, which results in uncomfortable driving experience. Considering this, in order to comfortably operate the vehicle, adjustable seats have been provided. That is, the driver’s seat is capable of being adjusted in a direction towards and away from the pedal assemblies and also is capable of being adjusted vertically as per the drivers comfort. However, in many cases the seat travel is not sufficient to meet the ergonomic requirements of drivers having physicality either below or above an average physicality. Moreover, in order to operate the pedal assembly the driver may adjust the driver’s seat close to the steering wheel which could cause injuries to the driver in case of accidents, which is undesired.
[004] Present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with the known arts.
[005] The drawbacks/difficulties/disadvantages/limitations of the conventional techniques explained in the background section are just for exemplary purpose and the disclosure would never limit its scope only such limitations. A person skilled in the art would understand that this disclosure and below mentioned description may also solve other problems or overcome the other drawbacks/disadvantages of the conventional arts which are not explicitly captured above.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[006] One or more shortcomings of the prior art are overcome by a system as claimed and additional advantages are provided through the system as claimed in the present disclosure. Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques of the present disclosure. Other embodiments and aspects of the disclosure are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed disclosure.
[007] In a non-limiting embodiment, a system for adjusting a pedal assembly of a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a first bracket which is movably connected to a structural member that extends in a vertical direction of the vehicle. The first bracket is displaceable vertically relative to the structural member. Further, the system includes a second bracket which is attached to the first bracket and is movable along with the first bracket. Additionally, a mounting member is movably coupled to the second bracket and is adapted to accommodate the pedal assembly. The mounting member is horizontally displaceable on the second bracket, relative to the structural member and is vertically displaceable along the first bracket for adjusting position of the pedal assembly of the vehicle. This configuration of the system aids in adjusting the entire pedal assembly, which enables all types of drivers having different physicality to comfortably drive the vehicle, thereby improving ergonomics and driving experience. Further, by adjusting the pedal assembly the actuating angle of the pedal remains constant and does not change the pedal operation dynamics. Additionally, as the complete pedal assembly is adjusted based on the driver’s requirement, separate connecting elements for facilitating connection between the pedal and the other components when the pedal is adjusted may be mitigated. Furthermore, by adjusting the whole pedal assembly instead of only the pedal, the technical specifications of the pedal such as the pedal ratio, the master cylinder associated with the pedal, the cylinder push rod articulation angle of the master cylinder and the standout remain unchanged. Moreover, the setting or arrangement of the pedal switch mounting, pedal return spring and the like, remain unchanged.
[008] In an embodiment, the system includes a first guide member which is fixed to the structural member and is adapted to engage with the first bracket for movably supporting the first bracket on the structural member. The first bracket is adapted to slidably displace along a length of the first guide member to vertically displace the mounting member.

[009] In an embodiment, the system includes a second guide member which is fixed to the mounting member and adapted to movably engage with the second bracket. The second guide member is adapted to slidably displace along a length of the second bracket to horizontally displace the mounting member.
[010] In an embodiment, the system includes a first locking member which is coupled to the first bracket. The first locking member is adapted to lock the first bracket with the first guide member in order to restrict vertical movement of the first bracket. Further, the system includes a second locking member which is coupled to the second bracket. The second locking member is adapted to lock the second bracket with the second guide member to restrict horizontal movement of the second bracket.
[011] In an embodiment, the pedal assembly includes at least one of a pedal, a fluid reservoir, a hose and an actuator.
[012] In another non-limiting embodiment, a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle includes a cabin, an engine bay and a structural member which is positioned between the cabin and an engine bay. Further, the vehicle includes an adjustable pedal system which is coupled to the structural member. The system includes a a first bracket which is movably connected to a structural member that extends in a vertical direction of the vehicle. The first bracket is displaceable vertically relative to the structural member. Further, the system includes a second bracket which is attached to the first bracket and is movable along with the first bracket. Additionally, a mounting member is movably coupled to the second bracket and is adapted to accommodate the pedal assembly. The mounting member is horizontally displaceable on the second bracket, relative to the structural member and is vertically displaceable along the first bracket for adjusting position of the pedal assembly in the vehicle.
[013] The foregoing summary is illustrative only and is not intended to be in any way limiting. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features will become apparent by reference to the drawings and the following detailed description.

It should be understood, however that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure.
[024] The terms “comprises”, “comprising”, or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusions, such that a device or a system or a method that comprises a list of components or steps does not include only those components or steps but may include other components or steps not expressly listed or inherent to such device, assembly, system or method. In other words, one or more elements in a device or an assembly or a system or a method proceeded by “comprises… a” does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the device or system or method.

[025] Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, same numerals have been used to refer to the same or like parts. The following paragraphs describe the present disclosure with reference to Figs. 1-5.
[026] Figs. 1 and 2 illustrates a perspective view and an exploded of a system (100) for adjusting a pedal assembly (10) of a vehicle [not shown in Figs], respectively. In an embodiment, the vehicle may be but not limiting to a car, a sports utility vehicle (SUV), a multi utility vehicle (MUV), a light commercial vehicle (LCV), a heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) or any other type of vehicle that makes use of pedal assemblies for operating the vehicle. The vehicle may include an engine bay [not shown in Figs] that may be provided adjacent and conjoining to a cabin [not shown in Figs]. Further, the vehicle may include a structural member (1) [termed as firewall in the art] which may be positioned between the cabin and the engine bay. The structural member (1) may extend in a vertical direction of the vehicle and may be configured as a partition wall dividing the cabin and the engine bay. The term engine bay is used to indicate the relative position of the vertical member in the vehicle. The usage of the term does not signify that the present invention is applicable to IC engine-powered vehicles alone. For example, embodiments of the present subject matter can be utilized with electric vehicles as well.
[027] Further, as seen in Fig. 1, the vehicle may include the pedal assembly (10) which may be connected to the structural member (1). In an embodiment, the pedal assembly (10) may be but not limiting to a clutch pedal assembly, a brake pedal assembly and an accelerator pedal assembly. The pedal assembly (10) may include at least one of a pedal (9) [a foot pedal], a fluid reservoir (11), a hose (12), an actuator (13), mounting brackets and any other mechanical and electrical components associated with operating the pedal (9) for controlling maneuvering of the vehicle. For example, if the pedal assembly (10) is a clutch pedal assembly, such assembly may include, a clutch pedal, a clutch fluid reservoir, an actuator to pump the fluid from the fluid reservoir, sensors, mounting brackets configured to connect or support all the components, hoses connecting the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid reservoir and the actuator and the like. In another example, if the pedal assembly (10) is a brake pedal assembly, such assembly may include, a brake pedal, a brake fluid reservoir, an actuator to pump the fluid from the fluid reservoir, sensors, mounting brackets

configured to connect or support all the components, hoses connecting the brake pedal, the brake fluid reservoir, the actuator and the like.
[028] As apparent from Figs. 1 and 2, the vehicle may include a system (100) for adjusting the pedal assembly (100). The system (100) may be coupled to the structural member (1) and may be configured to facilitate adjustment of the pedal assembly (100) in a vertical and a horizontal direction relative to the vehicle. The system (100) may include a first bracket (2) which may be movably connected to the structural member (1). The first bracket (2) may be adapted to displace vertically relative to the structural member (1). In an embodiment, the first bracket (2) may be displaceable between a first position (FP) [as seen in Fig. 3] and a second position (SP) [as seen in Fig. 4] on the structural member (1). In an embodiment, the first position (FP) may correspond to a position of the first bracket (2) towards a bottom portion of the structural member (1) and the second position (SP) may correspond to a position of the first bracket (2) towards an upper portion of the structural member (1). In other words, the first position (FP) may be closer to the bottom of the structural member (1) as compared to the second position (SP), and the second position (SP) may be closer to the top of the structural member (1) as compared to the first position (FP).
[029] Referring now to Fig. 2, the system (100) may include a first guide member (5) which may be fixed to the structural member (1). In an embodiment, the first guide member (5) may be fixed to the structural member (1) using suitable fixing means, such as but not limited to mechanical fastening, thermal bonding and adhesive bonding. The first bracket (2) may engage with the first guide member (5) and may be movably supported on the first guide member (5). The first bracket (2) may be adapted to slidably displace along a length of the first guide member (5) relative to the structural member (1) between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP). Further, the system (100) may include a first locking member (7) which may be coupled to the first bracket (2). The first locking member (7) may be adapted to lock the first bracket (2) with the first guide member (5) in order to restrict vertical movement of the first bracket (2) between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP) and lock the first bracket (2) with the first guide member (5) at any position between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP). In an embodiment, the first bracket (2) and the first guide member (5) may be defined with a plurality of provisions such as but not limited to holes, indents, grooves and protrusions which may be adapted to engage with the first locking member (7) for locking the first bracket (2) with the first guide member (5). In an

embodiment, the first locking member (7) may be a spring loaded locking member which may include a plunger [not shown in Figs] which may be biased towards a locked condition. In an embodiment, the plunger may be adapted to slot into the one of the plurality of provisions to lock the first bracket (2) with the first guide member (5). Further, a lever may be provided with the first locking member (7) to carry out locking and unlocking operation. The lever may be utilized to operate the first locking member (7) from the locked condition to an unlocked condition thereby enabling free movement of the first bracket (2) relative to the first guide member (5).
[030] In an embodiment, the first bracket (2) may be adapted to slide over the first guide member (5) or may be adapted to slide within the first guide member (5) to displace between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP). In an embodiment, the first guide member (5) may be in the form of a rail which may facilitate sliding of the first bracket (2) on the first guide member (5) between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP).
[031] Turning back to Fig. 1 along with Fig. 2, the system (100) may include a second bracket (3) which may be attached to the first bracket (2). In an embodiment, the second bracket (3) may be fixed to the first bracket (2) using suitable fixing means, such as but not limited to mechanical fastening, thermal bonding and adhesive bonding or may be extended integrally from the first bracket (2). The second bracket (3) may be adapted to displace along with displacement of the first bracket (2). That is, the second bracket (3) may displace vertically along with vertical displacement of the first bracket (2) between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP). In an embodiment, the second bracket (3) may extend perpendicularly from the first bracket (2), such as in the horizontal direction. Further, in an embodiment, the system (100) may include a second guide member (6) which may be movably engaged with the second bracket (3) and may be adapted to receive and support a mounting member (4). The second guide member (6) may be adapted to slidably displace along a length of the second bracket (3) in a horizontal direction relative to the structural member (1). In an embodiment, the second guide member (6) may be adapted to displace along the length of the second bracket (3) between a third position (TP) [as seen in Fig. 3] and a fourth position (LP) [as seen in Fig. 5]. In an embodiment, the third position (TP) corresponds to the position of the second guide member (6) towards the structural member (1) and the fourth position (LP) corresponds to the position of the second guide member (6) away from the structural member (1) in the horizontal direction. For instance, the third position (TP) may be closer to the

front of the vehicle as compared to the fourth position (LP). In an embodiment, the second bracket (3) may be in the form of a rail which may facilitate sliding of the second guide member (6) over the second bracket (3) between the third position (TP) and the fourth position (LP).
[032] In an embodiment, the system (100) may include a second locking member (8) which may be coupled to the second bracket (3). The second locking member (8) may be adapted to lock the second bracket (3) with the second guide member (6) to restrict horizontal movement of the second guide member (6) relative to the second bracket (3). In an embodiment, the second locking member (8) may be adapted to lock the second guide member (6) with the second bracket (3) at any position between the third position (TP) and the fourth position (LP). Further, the second bracket (3) and the second guide member (6) may be defined with a plurality of provisions such as but not limited to holes, indents, grooves and protrusions which may be adapted to engage with the second locking member (8) for locking the second guide member (6) with the second bracket (3). In an embodiment, the second locking member (8) may be a spring loaded locking member which may include a plunger [not shown in Figs] which may be biased towards a locked condition. In an embodiment, the plunger may be adapted to slot into the one of the plurality of provisions to lock the second bracket (3) with the second guide member (6). Further, a lever may be provided with the second locking member (8) to carry out locking and unlocking operation. The lever may be utilized to operate the second locking member (8) from the locked condition to the unlocked condition thereby enabling free movement of the second guide member (6) relative to the second bracket (3).
[033] In an embodiment, the second guide member (6) may be adapted to slide over the second bracket (3) or may be adapted to slide within the second bracket (3) to displace between the third position (TP) and the fourth position (LP).
[034] The system (100) may include the mounting member (4) which may be movably coupled to the second bracket (3) through the second guide member (6). The mounting member (4) may be adapted to accommodate the pedal assembly (10). The mounting member (4) may horizontally displaceable on the second bracket (3), relative to the structural member (1) and is vertically displaceable along the first bracket (2) for adjusting position of the pedal assembly (10) in the vehicle. In an illustrated embodiment, the mounting member (4) may include two plates (4a, 4b)

[as seen in Fig. 2] which may be separated from each other and parallelly connected to the second guide member (6). The two plates (4a, 4b) may be disposed on the structural member (1) in the horizontal direction and the components of the pedal assembly (10) may be either disposed in a gap which may be formed between the two plates (4a, 4b) or may be supported on each of the two plates (4a, 4b). That is, the mounting member (4) may be adapted to displace between the first position (FP) [as seen in Fig. 3] and the second position (SP) [as seen in Fig. 4] based on the displacement of the first bracket (2) between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP). Further, the mounting member (4) may be adapted to displace between the third position (TP) [as seen in Fig. 3] and the fourth position (LP) [as seen in Fig. 5] based on the displacement of the second guide member (6) between the third position (TP) and the fourth position (LP).
[035] In an embodiment, the mounting member (4) may be defined with provisions to support each of the pedal (9), the fluid reservoir (11), the hose (12), the actuator (13) and any other mechanical and electrical components associated with operating the pedal (9) to drive the vehicle.
[036] This configuration of the system (100) having the mounting member (4) to support the pedal assembly (10), enables the whole pedal assembly (10) to be adjusted based on requirement of a driver. For example, upon requirement, the driver of the vehicle may adjust height of the pedal assembly (10) relative to a floor in the cabin of the vehicle by selectively operating the first locking member (7) and displacing the pedal assembly (10) vertically between the first position (FP) and the second position (SP) based on his/her physical dimensional requirement to comfortably operate the pedal (9). That is, the first bracket (2) may be slid along the first guide member (5) in an upwards or downwards direction for vertically adjusting the pedal assembly (10). Additionally, upon requirement, the driver of the vehicle may also adjust reach of the pedal assembly (10) relative to the driver’s seat in the cabin of the vehicle by selectively operating the second locking member (8) and displacing the pedal assembly (10) horizontally between the third position (TP) and the fourth position (LP) based on his/her physical dimensional requirement to comfortably operate the pedal (9). That is, the second guide member (6) may be slid along the second bracket (3) in a forward or backward direction for horizontally adjusting the pedal assembly (10).
[037] In an embodiment, system (100) facilitates adjustment of the pedal assembly (10) based on the driver’s ergonomic requirements. Additionally, the system (100) facilitates the driver to

comfortably drive the vehicle even when driver’s seat travel is not sufficient to meet the ergonomic requirements of drivers who have physical dimensions which is either below or above the average physical dimension. Additionally, the system (100) enables shorter drivers to reach the foot pedals (9) even when the driver’s seat is not adjusted close to the steering wheel, thereby ensuring driver’s safety in case of accidents. Furthermore, by adjusting the pedal assembly (10) the actuating angle of the pedal (9) remains constant and does not change the pedal operation dynamics, unlike conventional adjustment systems which adjust the pedal alone. Additionally, as the complete pedal assembly is adjusted based on the driver’s requirement, separate connecting elements for facilitating connection between the pedal and the other components when the pedal is adjusted may be mitigated. Furthermore, by adjusting the whole pedal assembly instead of only the pedal, the technical specifications of the pedal such as the pedal ratio, the master cylinder associated with the pedal, the cylinder push rod articulation angle of the master cylinder and the standout remain unchanged. Moreover, the setting or arrangement of the pedal switch mounting, pedal return spring and the like, remain unchanged.
[038] In an illustrated embodiment, the system (100) includes two first brackets (2), two second brackets (3), two first guide members (5), two second guide members (6) and two mounting members (4) which are adapted to adjustably support the pedal assembly (10). However, this should not be considered as a limitation as the system (100) may include less than or more than two of each of the structural components to adjustably support the pedal assembly (10).
[039] In an illustrated embodiment, the system (100) is adapted to support a single pedal assembly (10), however, this should not be considered as a limitation as the system (100) may be adapted to support multiple pedal assemblies. For example, the system (100) may be adapted to adjustably support only the clutch pedal assembly or may be adapted to adjustably support the clutch pedal assembly and the brake pedal assembly or may be adapted to adjustably support the clutch pedal assembly, the brake pedal assembly and the accelerator pedal assembly.
[040] In an embodiment, electrical actuators may be integrated within the system (100) such that the pedal assembly (10) may be electrically operated. For example, at least one electric motor may be coupled to each of the first bracket (2) and the second bracket (3) such that upon actuation of

such at least one electrical actuators, the mounting member (4) supporting the pedal assembly (10) may be selectively displaced vertically and horizontally based on the driver’s requirement.
[041] It should be noted that in an exemplary embodiment, as seen in the Figs. 1-5 the features, construction, position and connections should not be construed as a limitation as the system (100) may include any other type of features, construction, position, and connections which may work with other combinations for adjusting the position of the pedal assembly (10).
[042] It should be imperative that the system and any other elements described in the above detailed description should not be considered as a limitation with respect to the figures. Rather, variation to such system and method should be considered within the scope of the detailed description.
Equivalents:
[043] With respect to the use of substantially any plural and/or singular terms herein, those having skill in the art can translate from the plural to the singular and/or from the singular to the plural as is appropriate to the context and/or application. The various singular/plural permutations may be expressly set forth herein for sake of clarity.
[044] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an”

(e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would Understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
[045] In addition, where features or aspects of the disclosure are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the disclosure is also thereby described in terms of any individual member or subgroup of members of the Markush group.
[046] While various aspects and embodiments have been disclosed herein, other aspects and embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The various aspects and embodiments disclosed herein are for purposes of illustration and are not intended to be limiting, with the true scope.
