Abstract:
A pedal displacement-control structure for a vehicle, comprising:a pedal bracket fixed to a first member constituting one portion of a vehicle body, said first member being displaced to rearward of the vehicle when an external force of a predetermined external force value or greater is applied to a front portion of the vehicle;a suspension-type vehicle pedal having a rotation shaft which forms a center of pivot is supported by said pedal bracket;displacement control means for controlling displacement of a tread of said vehicle pedal by applying a pressing force to said vehicle pedal toward the front of the vehicle at a position between the rotation shaft and the tread of the vehicle pedal when said vehicle pedal is displaced to rearward of the vehicle in accordance with displacement of the first member to rearward of the vehicle, said displacement control means being provided on a second member constituting another portion of the vehicle body, said second member having high rigidity and being arranged more rearward of the vehicle than said vehicle pedal; andmeans for restricting a press-reaction force of a predetermined press-reaction force value or greater from being transmitted to the second member via the displacement control means, when the pressing force is pressed to said vehicle pedal from said displacement control means.
