<p>The invention relates to a pedal mounting device for a motor vehicle. According to the invention, the pedal is: mounted to rotate around a fixed pedal shaft, supported by an apron, oriented along a transverse axis of the vehicle and connected to a connecting rod. Through the intermediary of a transmission element, the aforementioned connecting rod co-operates with means used to transfer the force applied to the pedal to one part of the vehicle. Moreover, in the event of an impact, the relative forward movement of a structural element of the vehicle causes the pedal to separate from the connecting rod. The invention is characterised in that the mounting device comprises a pivoting element which is mounted to rotate around the axis of the pedal and which, when struck by the above-mentioned structural element, pivots around the pedal axis from an initial position to an intermediary position at least in which it exerts a force on the connecting rod and breaks the connection between the pedal and the rod.</p> |
