Abstract
A brake pedal () for a vehicle, in particular, a motor vehicle, includes a framework structure () mounted for rotation about a first rotation spindle () connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle. A peg () is fixed to one end () of a pedal web () and slides in a slot () provided in the framework structure (). A movement mechanism () causes the peg to slide in the slot, defining a length (L) between the rotation spindle of the framework structure and the other end () of the pedal web. A first link () is connected to the framework structure and is mounted for rotation about a second rotation spindle () connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle. The first link includes a connection () for receiving an end of the rod of the brake booster of the vehicle at a distance (R) from the second rotation spindle. The brake pedal operates to provide a constant step-down ratio (L/R).
