A brake pedal device includes a pedal bracket, an operation pedal, an intermediate lever, and a coupling link. The pedal bracket includes a first side plate member and a second side plate member secured to a dash panel and arranged at interval in a vehicle width direction, and is fastened and secured with respect to a vehicle body side bracket located on a vehicle rear side by a nut and a bolt at one location. The first side plate member and the second side plate member include a deformation allowing part and a deformation allowing part between a first support shaft located on a rearward side among the first support shaft and a second support shaft, and an attachment/securing part and an attachment/securing part.

Vehicle operation pedal device

A fastening portion structure of a resin part including a tubular member integrally embedded therein by insert molding, and an insertion hole formed inside the tubular member, in which a screw member is inserted through the insertion hole, and the tubular member is compressed in an axial direction by the screw member, so that the resin part is fixed to a predetermined member. An inner peripheral surface of the tubular member is exposed in a region from one end to an intermediate position in the axial direction of the tubular member, but is covered by a resin in a region from the intermediate position to the other end, and the insertion hole is formed in a resin covering the inner peripheral surface of the tubular member.

Resin component fastener structure and molding device therefor

A vehicle grip structure including a body member and a grip, in which the body member is covered by the grip made of a synthetic resin, the grip includes an insertion hole in which the body member is inserted and a space portion provided along the insertion hole, multiple elastic protrusions are formed integrally with the grip and dispersedly on one of an inner peripheral-side wall surface and an outer peripheral-side wall surface of the space portion so as to protrude toward the other wall surface, when the grip is held by a driver, the elastic protrusions are pressed against the other wall surface and elastically deformed, and the elastic protrusions are arranged in a grid pattern in which adjoining ones of multiple polygons of the same shape have a common side, and are positioned so as to form each side of the polygons.

Vehicular grip structure

A parking brake operating apparatus (), comprises (a) a supporting member () disposed integral with a vehicle, (b) an operating member () disposed in the supporting member to pivot about a first axis, and actuates a parking brake by a braking operation from an initial position thereof, (c) a ratchet () having many engaging teeth () formed along an arc centering on the first axis, and disposed in the supporting member integrally therewith, and (d) a pawl () disposed in the operating member, riding over the many engaging teeth during the braking operation of the operating member, and engaging with the teeth in the brake actuating position of the operating member to prevent returning pivotal movement of the operating member toward the initial position side for maintaining an actuating state of the parking brake. In such parking brake operating apparatus, (e) a first engaging tooth () in the many engaging teeth of the ratchet over which the pawl rides first during the braking operation of the operating member from the initial position is determined higher in a height than other engaging teeth ().
