Abstract:
A pedal mechanism for a vehicle, having: a pedal lever, a component, and a restoring spring element, said component and said pedal lever being mounted pivotably about a common axis, said pedal lever being able to be deflected by foot force and is pivotal back into a basic position via a restoring movement by said restoring spring element; an actuating element connected to said component (13, 27) and being actuable by the pedal lever upon a contacting of the component with the pedal lever; and a second spring element, wherein the pedal lever (2, 23) is urged to contact the component by the second spring element (12, 25), said second spring element serving to limit force transmitted via said component to the actuating element (18, 20) by the pedal lever (2, 23) during said restoring movement of the pedal lever (2, 23) by allowing a distancing of the pedal lever (2, 23) from the component and the actuating element (18, 20) during the restoring movement of the pedal lever.
