Patent attributes
In one embodiment, there are power floor boards for a motorcycle or other two or three wheeled open vehicle, that is capable of using foot rests, such as an ATV. Each power floorboard has a toe part and a heel part. The two parts move from a first position where they are essentially flat on top and fully retracted, to a second position where the toe pad is angled up with respect to the heel pad, and both the heel and toe pads are fully extended toward a front of the vehicle. The toe pad is on rails and moves forward by a worm gear. The rails are fixed to the vehicles footrest mounts. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the angular motion of the toe pad compared to the relatively linear or flat motion of the heel pad, is achieved by a pivotable connection of the toe pad to the heel pad, and an elongated, relatively S-shaped cam slot with a follower therein for driving the toe pad first to slowly incline, then to faster incline, and then to slowly incline.
