DEVICE FOR MOUNTING A MOTOR VEHICLE PEDAL

摘要

The invention concerns a device for mounting a brake pedal (16) comprising a support (10) whereon the pedal is mounted via a pedal pin (18), as well as a rocker (28). In case of impact, the rocker is struck by a fixed structural component (34) of the vehicle and first shifts by translation from an initial position to an intermediate position then, next by rotation from its intermediate position to a final position. The rocker (28) then imposes upon the pedal pin (18) a displacement from the front backwards between two positions, such that the free end of the pedal comprising the pad (22) is driven forward of the vehicle and does not risk hurting the driver's ankle.
