SUPPORTING STRUCTURE OF PEDAL FOR AUTOMOBILE

摘要

A pedal supporting structure in which a pedal is (18) prevented from being moved in a direction toward a passenger compartment if a deformation occurs in a dash panel in the direction toward the passenger compartment. A pedal bracket (22) pivotally supports a lever portion (18a) of the pedal (18). A connection mechanism (38a, 40) disengageably engages an upper portion of the pedal bracket (22) to a body member (43) located near the pedal bracket. A guiding mechanism (38, 42) guides movement of the pedal bracket (22) so that the movement of the pedal bracket (22) causes movement of the pedal (28) relative to the body member (43) in a rear-to-front direction of the vehicle.
