<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brake pedal device for an industrial vehicle imparting a feeling of pedal-stepping force and a stepping amount of the pedal similar to conventional vehicles. SOLUTION: This brake pedal device has a spring 14 supporting the brake pedal 7 to position the pedal 7 in a prescribed position, and a potentiometer 21 detecting a turn of the pedal 7 to detect the stepping amount of the pedal 7, while a rubber mount 17 generating reaction force to the pedal 7 is disposed at a position where the pedal 7 is turned by a prescribed angle against the spring 14. Therefore, when the pedal 7 is stepped, the pedal 7 is turned by the prescribed angle against reaction force of the spring 14 at first and is turned against the reaction force of both the spring 14 and the rubber mount 17. Accordingly, because the pedal 7 is not turned unless stepping on the pedal 7 strongly from halfway, a worker can obtain the feeling like application of strong brake force when strongly stepping on the pedal 7, and the feeling like application of weak brake force when weakly stepping on the pedal 7, so that the worker can drive the vehicle with the same feeling as the vehicle having a conventional hydraulic brake device.</p> |
