Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009000993A2] This device comprises a spring system which normally exerts a moment on the pedal (1) that keeps it in a stable upper clutch-engaged position, this spring (3) being inserted between a connection point (300) fixed to the pedal and another connection point (310) borne by an element fixed to the vehicle chassis, the driver of the vehicle releasing the clutch by pivoting the pedal (1) in a downward direction, firstly against the resistance of the spring (3) and then, beyond a given pegging angle (a0), with the aid of this spring. Said device is noteworthy in that at least one (310) of the two connection points is mounted movably with respect to the element (4) to which it is fixed, and in that it comprises means designed to automatically shift this connection point (310) at the end of the clutch-release travel so as to substantially reduce the moment exerted by the spring (3) on the pedal in the clutch-release direction (F). Automotive construction.
