<p>This accelerator pedal includes: a slide guide path (12j') which is formed in a housing; a first slider (41) which is disposed in a slidable manner within the slide guide path, is engaged with a pedal arm so that a depression force is applied to the first slider (41), and has a first sloped surface sloped relative to the direction of movement of the first slider (41); a second slider (42) which is disposed in a slidable manner within the slide guide path and which has a second sloped surface in contact with the first sloped surface; and a pressing spring (43) which is engaged with the second slider and which imparts a pressing force in the direction opposing the depression force. The slide guide path (12j') is formed so as to be tapered in the direction of movement of both the first slider and the second slider which move in association with the depression of the accelerator pedal. The configuration reduces the size of the accelerator pedal device and enables the depression force to have desired hysteresis.</p> |
