Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for reducing clutch pedal effort, comprising: a spring bracket that is coupled with a hinge pipe, through which a pedal hinge passes, such that the spring bracket protrudes forward; a switching lever that is rotatably coupled with the hinge pipe such that, during a forward rotation of a pedal arm, the switching lever is rotated exclusively when the switching lever comes into contact with the spring bracket, and the switching lever comes into contact with the pedal arm during a rotation of the switching lever, thereby intensifying the forward rotation of the pedal arm; and a reaction providing unit that is placed at a location above the pedal hinge, with a first end thereof combined with an upper surface of a pedal member and a second end thereof combined with the switching lever, wherein the reaction providing unit is operated in such a way that, when the switching lever is not rotated, the reaction providing unit sets an initial position of the switching lever by restricting a movement of the switching lever using accumulated elasticity thereof, and when the switching lever is rotated, the reaction providing unit provides a reaction force to the pedal arm so as to cause the switching lever to come into contact with the pedal arm, wherein the switching lever comprises:
