Title:
ACCELERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/001902
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An accelerator (1) for adjusting an output of an engine includes: a throttle lever (4) that is turned; a rotating member (16) that is turned in conjunction with the throttle lever (4); a gear member (18) that is concentrically and freely fitted to the rotating member (16); a lock lever (24) that is engaged with the gear member (18) to lock a movement of the gear member (18); a trigger lever (5) that moves the lock lever (24); and an elastic member (22) that frictionally engages the rotating member (16) and the gear member (18). The throttle lever (4) is biased toward an idling position within an output adjustment rage of the engine. The frictional force caused by the elastic member (22) between the rotating member (16) and the gear member (18) is greater than the biasing force of the throttle lever (4) toward the idling position.
