A liquid-filled bushing () includes an inner tube () and an outer member (). The outer member () defines a pair of liquid chambers between the outer member () and the inner tube (), and an orifice portion () in which an orifice passage () which communicates with the liquid chambers is formed. An elastic body () which elastically connects together the orifice portion () and the inner tube () is provided. The pair of liquid chambers are individually disposed on both sides between which the inner tube () is interposed. A first protrusion portion () which protrudes outward in the radial direction and is fitted into the elastic body is formed in the inner tube (), and a second protrusion portion () which protrudes inward in the radial direction and is fitted into the elastic body () is formed in the orifice portion (). The first protrusion portion () and the second protrusion portion () are disposed in both portions between the pair of liquid chambers adjacent in a circumferential direction such that positions of the portions in the circumferential direction coincide with each other and positions of the portions in the direction of the center axis are different from each other.

Liquid-filled bushing

A reaction force pedal device provided with pedal members operated by a driver, a motor which applies a reaction force to the pedal members through an arm member which is always connected to the pedal members, and a clutch arranged between the motor and the arm member. When the pedal members are displaced, the clutch is temporarily released.

Reaction force pedal device

An object of the present invention is to provide a pedal device in which the pad member can be fixed to the stopper member easily at the time of mounting, and which does not tend to be degraded over the years. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pedal device including: a stopper member attached to a floor of a driver's seat of a vehicle; and a pad member which has a pad fitted into the stopper member and receives a depression force exerted by a driver.
