Abstract
Abstract A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal includes: a pedal bracket supporting a rotating shaft portion of a suspended-type vehicle pedal, a front end portion of the pedal bracket being joined to a first vehicle structural member which deforms substantially toward a rear of a vehicle when an external force of a predetermined value or greater is applied to a front portion of the vehicle, and a rear end portion of the pedal bracket being joined to a second vehicle structural member which is disposed at a substantially vehicle rear side of the first vehicle structural member; a separating device for canceling a joined state of the rear end portion of the pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member by the pedal bracket being displaced substantially toward the rear of the vehicle, so as to separate the rear end portion of the pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member; and a displacement controlling device disposed in a vicinity of the rear end portion of the pedal bracket, for controlling displacement of a stepping surface of the vehicle pedal by regulating displacement, in a substantially vehicle transverse direction, of the rear end portion of the pedal bracket which rear end portion has been separated from the second vehicle structural member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
211 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal, comprising: a pedal bracket supporting a rotating shaft portion of a suspended-type vehicle pedal, a front end portion of said pedal bracket being joined to a first vehicle structural member which deforms substantially toward a rear of a vehicle when an external force of a predetermined value or greater is applied to a front portion of the vehicle, and a rear end portion of said pedal bracket being joined to a second vehicle structural member which is disposed at a substantially vehicle rear side of the first vehicle structural member; separating means for canceling a joined state of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member by said pedal bracket being displaced substantially toward the rear of the vehicle, so as to separate the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member; and displacement controlling means, disposed in a vicinity of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket, for controlling displacement of a stepping surface of the vehicle pedal by regulating displacement, In a substantially vehicle transverse direction, of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket which rear end portion has been separated from the second vehicle structural member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 1, wherein said displacement controlling means is a regulating means which is inclined substantially toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side substantially along a direction toward the rear of the vehicle, and which is disposed at a position which interferes with a locus of movement of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket which rear end portion has been separated from the second vehicle structural member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 2, wherein joined surfaces of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member are inclined substantially toward a bottom of the vehicle substantially along a direction toward the rear of the vehicle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 1, wherein joined surfaces of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member are inclined substantially toward a bottom of the vehicle substantially along a direction toward the rear of the vehicle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 1, wherein said displacement controlling means is a guide means which guides the rear end portion of said pedal bracket, which rear end portion has been separated from the second vehicle structural member, substantially toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side substantially along a direction toward the rear of the vehicle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 5, wherein joined surfaces of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member are inclined substantially toward a bottom of the vehicle substantially along a direction toward the rear of the vehicle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
78 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 1, wherein said displacement controlling means is a pushing means which bridges the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and a vehicle body, said pushing means applying pushing force in a direction toward a substantially vehicle transverse direction outer side to the rear end side of said pedal bracket by swinging around a region at which said pushing means is joined to the vehicle body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 7, wherein joined surfaces of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member are inclined substantially toward a bottom of the vehicle substantially along a direction toward the rear of the vehicle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
78 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 1, wherein said displacement controlling means is a regulating means in which an angle of inclination, with respect to the substantially vehicle transverse direction, of a wall surface of a rear portion wall of said regulating means is set greater than an angle of inclination, with respect to the substantially vehicle transverse direction, of a wall surface of a front portion wall of said regulating means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
50 words
A structure for controlling displacement of a vehicle pedal according to claim 9, wherein joined surfaces of the rear end portion of said pedal bracket and the second vehicle structural member are inclined substantially toward a bottom of the vehicle substantially along a direction toward the rear of the vehicle.
