Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, with this type of mounting device, there is a non-negligible risk of inadvertently triggering the shearing device for no apparent reason, while the vehicle is not subjected to any specific shock during normal driving
The pedal would then be detached from its bracket and the driver would not be able to benefit from the usual functions of said pedal, such as a brake function or a clutch function
While the likelihood of seeing this phenomenon occur remains minimal, the consequences could prove severe in terms of bodily injury and / or equipment damage

Embodiment Construction

[0022] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 , according to the present invention a device 1 for mounting a brake pedal 2 comprises a bracket 3 on which the brake pedal 2 is mounted via a main rotation axis 4 and shearing means attached Attached to a fixed body element. The shearing device may, for example, comprise two blades similar to those disclosed in patent EP 0965506, each blade being constituted by two cutting arms arranged in a V-shape. refer to figure 2 , pedal 2 conventionally consists of an elongated lever arm 5 terminated at a first end 6 by a roughened plate 7, forming the driver's foot pressure to trigger the braking of the vehicle against and a second extremity 8 of the lever arm is connected to the bracket 3 in an articulated manner through the main axis of rotation 4 . A face-to-face bracket 9 rigidly fixed to the lever arm 5 of the pedal 2 is fixed in the region of its second end 8 to rigid transmission elements (not visible in these figures) so that said ele...

Abstract

The device (1) has a support (3) on which a brake pedal (2) is mounted through a main rotation axle (4). A shearing unit is connected to a fixed body element of a vehicle and radially shears the axle in case of displacement of the support with respect to the element to disconnect the pedal from the support. A secondary axle (12) is secured to the pedal to position the pedal, which has to be sheared, in a functional position. The secondary axle constitutes a rotation axle of the pedal in the position. The secondary axle is parallel to the main axle when the pedal is mounted on the support.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for mounting an actuation pedal on a vehicle. In general, conventional motor vehicles are equipped with various actuation pedals, such as brake pedals or clutch pedals, which are located in the region of the driver's feet and emerge in the free space located in front of the driver's seat. In addition to performing their function in a consistent and precise manner, said pedals must be installed in the vehicle while at the same time observing certain safety rules, especially with regard to the driver. The invention relates more particularly to a device for mounting an actuation pedal, for example taking into account the safety of the driver in the event of a frontal impact. Background technique [0002] Devices for mounting an actuator pedal in a motor vehicle exist and have been the subject of several patents. For example, one can cite patent EP 0965506, which relates to a device for mounting pedals, the principle of ...
