Abstract
A vehicle pedal device including: a depressable portion which is to be operationally depressed by a driver of the vehicle; an output member which is pivotably supported by a supporting shaft provided in a bracket that is fixed to a body of the vehicle, such that the output member is pivoted about the supporting shaft when the depressable portion is operationally depressed, for thereby applying to a motive-power transmitting member an output corresponding to a depression force which is applied to the depressable portion; a longitudinal adjustment device which moves the depressable portion in a longitudinal direction of the body of the vehicle when the depressable portion is not being operationally depressed; and a pedal-ratio varying mechanism which is disposed between the output member and the motive-power transmitting member, and which is capable of adjusting a pedal ratio of the pedal device.
