Abstract:
1. An operating pedal device for a vehicle, comprising: an operating pedal disposed at a pedal support fixed to a vehicle so as to be pivotable about an axis of a support shaft, and depressed by a driver; a reaction force member connected to the operating pedal through at least one connecting portion in which the reaction member and a pedal-side member are connected relatively pivotable about a connecting pin, an output in accordance with an operating force of the operating pedal being transmitted to the reaction force member, and a reaction force corresponding to the output being applied to the reaction force member; an opening formed in the pedal-side member near the connecting pin to permit the connecting pin to be relatively displaced by the reaction force; an elastic portion directly formed in the pedal-side member, which is elastically deformed due to displacement of the connecting pin; and a strain detecting element attached to the elastic portion deformed by the reaction force, the strain detecting element electrically detecting the operating force by being deformed together with the elastic portion.
