<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems in a stable support of a pedal arm, rigidity of a support member and a reliable operation of a lever for dropping the pedal arm, and to provide a pedal device which reliably drops the pedal arm at the collision of a vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: In the pedal device for the vehicle having the support member 2 for rotatably supporting the pedal arm 1 which is attached to a dash panel 4 arranged in a front part of a deck cross member 5, a pedal rotating shaft 16 of the pedal arm 1 is penetrated through a pedal shaft hole 24 of the support member 2. A striking lever 3 struck down to the pedal rotating shaft 16 is pivotably supported by an upper part of the pedal arm 1 and a front part of the deck cross member 5. A cut out groove 381 is provided along a rotating shaft striking part 33 facing the pedal rotating shaft 16 of the striking lever 3. A plastic deformation part 38 of a cantilever support structure is provided which has the rotating shaft striking part 33 as a peripheral edge. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
