Abstract
The brake pedal configuration is particularly suited for an automobile having electrically actuated wheel brakes. A spring provides a resistance force with a nonlinear characteristic against brake actuation forces exerted on the brake pedal. The spring is arcuately curved and is fastened at one end to a support. At is second end the spring is connected to the brake pedal in an articulated manner. At its middle region, the spring is located opposite a stop on which the spring comes to bear after a partial deflection.
