Abstract
A device for mounting a pedal lever () of a motor vehicle, which is accommodated in a housing () pivotably around at least one severable bearing element (). A separating wedge (), is supported on one side against a motor vehicle component (). The separating wedge () is arranged facing the bearing element () with at least one cutting edge () provided at the separating wedge (). As such the bearing element () is shorn off by the separating wedge () as a consequence of the action of an external force, which may be caused, e.g., by an accident, due to a relative movement between the separating wedge () and the bearing element ().
