Abstract
A pedal device includes a pedal suspended from a supporting shaft penetrating through a pair of lengthwise walls of a pedal bracket, and shaft detachment means configured to allow one end portion of the supporting shaft to be disengaged from a corresponding one of the lengthwise walls at the time of frontal collision. A pedal stroke sensor is arranged on the pedal bracket at a distance from the pedal, and the pedal stroke sensor and the pedal are connected to each other by a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes permission means for permitting the end portion of the supporting shaft to be disengaged from the corresponding lengthwise wall at the time of frontal collision.
