<p>A brake pedal apparatus for an automotive vehicle is disclosed as including a pedal bracket 2, a pivot bracket 3, a slide plate 9 fixedly secured to a vehicular body structural member 41, 52, and an impact absorbing section 10 located between the pedal bracket and the slide plate. During a frontal collision of a vehicle, the impact absorbing section allows the pedal bracket to be contracted and deformed into a position wherein a pedal arm 8 is retracted in a forward direction of the vehicle whereby even when a master vac. is retracted in the forward direction or even when a dash floor panel 40 is deformed into a vehicle compartment with a resultant rearward movement of a push rod 24, a depressing position of the pedal arm remains in a position to avoid a differential feeling touch to be applied to a vehicle driver.</p> |
