A brake pedal apparatus for an automotive vehicle is disclosed as including a pedal bracket , a pivot bracket , a slide plate fixedly secured to a vehicular body structural member , and an impact absorbing section located between the pedal bracket and the slide plate. During a frontal collision of a vehicle, the impact absorbing section allows the pedal bracket to be contracted and deformed into a position wherein a pedal arm is retracted in a forward direction of the vehicle whereby even when a master vac. is retracted in the forward direction or even when a dash floor panel is deformed into a vehicle compartment with a resultant rearward movement of a push rod , a depressing position of the pedal arm remains in a position to avoid a differential feeling touch to be applied to a vehicle driver.

Brake pedal apparatus for automotive vehicle

A brake pedal structure for a vehicle includes a pedal bracket provided on a dash panel of the vehicle, a pedal shaft provided on the pedal bracket, a pedal arm pivotally supported by the pedal shaft in a freely rotatable manner around the pedal shaft as a rotational axis, and a push rod connected to the pedal arm for operating a brake system of the vehicle in response to rotation of the pedal arm. The push rod has a portion so as to interrupt the transmission of a load input at the time of collision of said vehicle.

Brake pedal structure for vehicle

A brake pedal structure for a vehicle disclosed herein includes a pedal bracket provided on a dash panel of the vehicle, a pedal shaft provided on the pedal bracket, a pedal arm pivotally supported by the pedal shaft in a freely rotatable manner around the pedal shaft as a rotational axis, and a push rod connected to the pedal arm for operating a brake system of the vehicle in response to rotation of the pedal arm. The push rod has a portion so as to interrupt the transmission of a load input at the time of collision of said vehicle.

A brake pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes a pedal bracket provided on a dash panel, a pedal shaft provided on the pedal bracket, a pedal arm supported by the pedal shaft in a rotatable manner around the pedal shaft, a first engaging portion provided on the pedal arm, a push rod lever supported by the pedal shaft in a rotatable manner around the pedal shaft and connected to a push rod, and a second engaging portion provided on the push rod lever. The push rod lever or the pedal arm is movable along the axial direction of the pedal shaft, and the first and second engaging portions are capable of engaging with each other. The apparatus further includes a biasing member for biasing the push rod lever or the pedal arm in a direction for releasing the engagement between the first and second engaging portions, and a spacer member which, in a normal state, positions the push rod lever and the pedal arm, and which, at the time of collision, detects the collision for allowing movable one of the push rod lever and the pedal arm along the axial direction of the pedal shaft to release the engagement between the first and second engaging portions.

Brake pedal apparatus for vehicle

A gear shift apparatus includes a shaft having a first axis extending laterally with respect to a vehicle body. A bracket is secured to a pivot pin rotatable about a second axis extending laterally with respect to the first axis. A gear shift lever is secured to the bracket for unitary rotation therewith about the second axis. A sleeve is fixed to the gear shift lever for unitary motion therewith. A check ball is supported by the sleeve and urged against a cam surface of a stationary position plate. The cam surface has a plurality of recesses engaged with the check ball.
