View page
US Patent:
39369552, Feb 10, 1976
Filed:
Dec 17, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/533519
Inventors:
Herbert Gruen - Brooklyn NY
Kenneth R. Wisner - New York NY
Tony Karp - Briarwood NY
Assignee:
Driver Training Institute - Brooklyn NY
International Classification:
G09B 904
US Classification:
35 11
Abstract:
A driver training simulator apparatus is disclosed which provides accurate simulation of the operation of the steering wheel and clutch. The resistance of the steering wheel to a turning force is greater when the simulated training vehicle is at rest than when the vehicle is moving. The simulated clutch offers a progressively different resistance to movement of the clutch pedal depending on the degree of engagement or disengagement of the simulated clutch. Also provided in the simulator is a stall sensor which causes the simulated vehicle to "stall" while also providing an indication of the occurrence of a stall when predetermined simulated conditions of engine speed and load are present in the simulated vehicle.
