Pedal device

Abstract

In a pedal device that can recede a pedal arm from a passenger side such as a driver reliably and can recede a retainer as a control member for realizing a receding posture of the pedal arm from a vehicle body side reliably at the time of a frontal collision or the like of a vehicle, a first guide hole (13) provided in a pedal bracket (10) attached to the vehicle body includes a leading end hole portion (13a), a terminal end hole portion (13c), and a connecting hole portion (13b) that connects the leading end hole portion (13a) and the terminal end hole portion (13c), and a second guide hole (40) provided in a retainer (30) engaged and attached to the pedal bracket (10) by engaging portions includes a first hole portion (40a) and a second hole portion (40b) connected to each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pedal device, and particularly relates to a pedal device which is mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile and freely controls the posture of a pedal arm when the vehicle collides or the like. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in a pedal device such as a brake pedal device mounted on a vehicle such as a motor vehicle, the following structure has been proposed: in order to prevent the pedal device from moving backward due to the deformation of the vehicle body during a frontal collision of the vehicle and causing the driver and other passengers to Unnecessarily interfere with the feet of the foot, causing a part of the pedal unit to drop or move forward. [0003] Under such circumstances, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-90381 relates to an operation pedal device for a motor vehicle, and discloses a structure in which when the instrument panel 3 is deformed backward, the pivot shaft 13 is m...

[0004] However, according to the research of the present inventors, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-90381, the control lever 21 is supported by the support shaft 19 provided separately from the pivot 13 of the operation pedal 10, and is held by the support piece 26 and the rivet 27, Furthermore, for the pivot 13 of the operation pedal 10, it is also necessary to provide a breakable partition wall 24, so its structure tends to be cumbersome.

[0005] Furthermore, according to the research of the present inventors, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-90381, when the operation pedal 10 is in the retreating posture, as long as the control lever 21 can be moved so that it does not interfere with the vehicle body side unnecessarily, The deformation of the vehicle body can be carried out smoothly, so it is more preferable. However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-90381 does not teach such a structure.
