PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small and inexpensive accelerator pedal operating device capable of increasing the step-on resistance of an accelerator pedal at any time irrespective of the step-on amount of the accelerator pedal. SOLUTION: The accelerator pedal operating device includes a pedal rod 2 rockingly supporting the accelerator pedal 4 and a thrusting part 6, and a movable member 54 to be thrust by the thrusting part 6 and moved when the pedal rod 2 is moved to the acceleration side. The accelerator pedal operating device further includes a pair of guides 51a, 51b disposed so as to always contact with a pair of movable parts 55, 56 of the movable member 54. The guides 51a, 51b are magnetized to mutually-different poles by an electromagnet 53 to adsorb the movable parts 55, 56 one by one. The movable parts 55, 56 magnetized to the mutually-different poles are adsorbed to each other. An adsorbing force is used for giving thrusting forces to the guides 51a, 51b to the movable parts 55, 56 to increase friction resistance being step-on resistance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
