Abstract:
1. A pedal support for a motor vehicle, the pedal support comprising: a first partial spindle and a second partial spindle, wherein the first partial spindle and the second partial spindle are spaced apart in an axial direction, a spring force acting on said partial spindles in said axial direction; a bracket connected to a crash-deformable bodywork part of the motor vehicle, wherein said bracket is provided with side walls, each side wall comprising an outside, wherein said first partial spindle and said second partial spindle are each mounted in one of said side walls; a stay connected to a crash-stable bodywork part of the motor vehicle, wherein said stay is in engagement with another part of the pedal support; and a clamp comprising two parallel limbs, each of said limbs being connected to one of said partial spindles and bearing against said outside of one of said side walls of said bracket, such that a relative movement between said crash-deformable bodywork part and said crash-stable bodywork part due to a frontal crash of the motor vehicle urges said partial spindles away from each other so as to release a pedal supported by said partial spindles.
