AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The design effectively removes left and right movement of the pedal arm, enhances customer satisfaction, and increases lateral rigidity, thereby reducing noise and improving commercial value.

Problems solved by technology

However, a structure for preventing spacing to prevent left and right movement of a pedal arm and a structure for securing lateral rigidity are directly-opposed conceptual structures, and conventional hinge bushes cannot achieve both of the structure for preventing left and right spacing and the structure for securing lateral rigidity.

Abstract

A hinge bush for a vehicle pedal apparatus may include a flange connected to a cylindrical portion may include an elastic section that elastically deforms when coming in contact with the internal side of a pedal member and an inelastic section that generates a strong supporting force, whereby it is possible to remove left and right spacing of the pedal arm through the elastic section and it is also possible to increase lateral rigidity of the pedal arm through the inelastic section.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE(S) TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0043722, filed Apr. 15, 2019, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the invention[0002]The present invention relates to a hinge bush for a vehicle pedal apparatus and, more particularly, to a hinge bush for a vehicle pedal apparatus, the hinge bush being able to remove left-right spacing of a pedal arm and having a structure which is advantageous for lateral rigidity.Description of Related Art[0003]The current vehicles that a driver operates and drives in person have an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, which are operated by a driver using feet, in the forward space under the driver's seat, and also include a clutch pedal if the vehicles are manual transmission vehicles.[0004]Such pedal apparatuses are configured such that a pedal arm is rotated forwards and backwards w...
