A capless filler includes a housing, a flap, and a biasing spring. The housing has a fuel hole. The flap includes a supported part, a base, and a protrusion. The supported part is provided at an end part and is supported by the housing. The base extends to the supported part. The protrusion protrudes from the base. The flap is turned on a fulcrum at the supported part between open and closed positions. The biasing spring biases the flap in a direction from the open position to the closed position. The biasing spring pushes the base against an opening rim of the fuel hole at the closed position. The flap is turned in a direction from the closed position to the open position in response to the protrusion being pushed. At least a part of the protrusion is provided as a nozzle guide.

Capless filler

A brake apparatus () for a vehicle, having: a pedal box () which is provided on a partition panel () extending in approximately upward and downward directions and which pivotally supports the brake pedal (). An electric motor () of a power steering apparatus is arranged at a position where the electric motor makes contact with the brake pedal () moving backward at a time of a front collision of the vehicle, to receive a load from the brake pedal () by the electric motor ().

Brake apparatus for vehicle

A pedal supporting structure for a vehicle includes a pedal bracket secured to a dash board, a pedal shaft for swingably supporting a pedal arm, a pin member for mounting the pedal shaft on the pedal bracket and a separation member secured to a support beam. An arm section of the separation member has a guide slot capable of a relative displacement of a pin member inserted to the pedal shaft and contacting the slanted surface. The arm section of the separation member has a slanted surface at the middle thereof. When an external force larger than a specified value is applied to a front part of the vehicle, due to the relative displacement between the pedal bracket and the separation member, the pin member comes out of the pedal shaft and as a result the pedal arm is separated from the pedal shaft.
