The drawings come from a patent application that recently published as US Pub. No. 20120205177 titled “golf cart safety apparatus,” which describes the invention as:
A golf cart safety apparatus in accordance with the principles of the present invention reduces the incidence of injured protruding limbs. A safety pedal is provided that prevents the golf cart from operating unless engaged. The safety pedal comprises a hinge, a "kill switch", and a platform upon which an occupant's foot can rest. The hinge is secured to a floor of the golf cart and the platform. The "kill switch", which prevents the golf cart from operating unless depressed, is operably associated with the platform. Because the foot of the occupant must engage the safety pedal in order to disable the "kill switch", the occupant's leg must be properly positioned inside the golf cart. Thus, a golf cart safety apparatus in accordance with the principles of the present invention reduces the incidences of golf cart injuries.
Great invention, beautifully simple and effective; just don’t put it on the carts at my course!
