Abstract
A spring damper disposed inside a coil spring includes: a main body having an outside diameter smaller than an inside diameter of a spring wire of the coil spring; and an outward convex part having a distal end located on an outer side of a cylindrical virtual plane in the radial direction, the cylindrical virtual plane passing through a center of the spring wire. When the coil spring is compressed by pressing an accelerator pedal by a driver, the outward convex part located between the adjacent spring wires prevents collision between the spring wires.
