Abstract:
A brake pedal structure for a vehicle, comprising:a pedal bracket provided on a vehicle dash panel; a pedal shaft provided on the pedal bracket; a pedal arm pivotally supported on the pedal shaft so as to be freely rotatable about the pedal shaft, the pedal arm having a notch; a push rod having a pin which is slidably received in the notch to connect the push rod to the pedal arm and to operate a brake system in response to rotation of the pedal arm in a normal state; and a projection which is rigid with the pedal arm and synchronously rotatable therewith to directly act on the push rod such that the projection displaces the pin from the notch in a manner which interrupts a transmission of load input at the time of collision.
