<p>A brake pedal apparatus (10;50;60;70;80;90) including: (a) an operating pedal (18) which is disposed pivotably about a first axis (16); (b) a pivot member (22;62) which is disposed pivotably about a second axis (20) parallel to the first axis, and which is connected to the operating pedal via a link mechanism (24;52) so as to be pivoted about the second axis in response to a depression of the operating pedal; and (c) an output member (30) which is to receive an output generated upon pivot motion of the pivot member. The link mechanism includes a first link (34;54) which is connected to the operating pedal via a first connecting pin (32) parallel to the first axis and which is pivotable about the first connecting pin relative to the operating pedal. The link mechanism further includes a second link (38;56;82) which is connected to the pivot member via a second connecting pin (36) parallel to the second axis and which is pivotable about the second connecting pin relative to the pivot member.</p> |
