Pedal for automobile

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain an optimum pedal position which has matched a driver's physique, by turning relatively a pedal arm in the pedal stepping direction or the reverse direction against an arm supporting member, so that a height position of the pedal end on which a pedal stepping surface has been formed can be adjusted. CONSTITUTION:An adjusting pin 10 being a pedal adjusting means, which is positioned between the first pedal arm 6 and the second pedal arm 7 and supports the first peal arm 6 which has been energized in the pedal stepping direction is provided on an arm connecting part 5a of an arm supporting member. In this state, by changing a relative turning angle position of each pedal arm 6, 7 to the arm supporting member 5, a height position of a pedal end 8 can be adjusted. Also, this pedal is constituted so that an angle of a pedal stepping surface 8a of the pedal end 8 is always constant, irrespective of the relative turning angle position of each pedal arm 6, 7. In this way, the height position of the pedal end 8 can be changed, and a stepping operation of the pedal can be executed easily, irrespective of whether a driver's physique is large or small.
