Abstract
Realized is a pedal mechanism that does not lock and does not provide an operation feeling unless operated in a determined order. The pedal mechanism has first and second pedalsand, first and second platesand, and a locking bar. The radius of the second plateis smaller than that of the first plate, and the second plate does not come into contact with the locking bar in a state where a circular-arc region of the first plate supports the locking bar. Therefore, the second pedal does not give an operation feeling even when stepped on, and the second plate cannot be locked. In a locked state where the locking bar is located in a cutout region of the first plate, the locking bar contacts the second plate, the second pedal provides an operation feeling, and the second plate can be locked.
