ABSTRACT:
In an automotive pedal support system, an operating member is supported for operation by a support member, and a return spring member is operable to apply a force to the operating member in a direction opposite to the direction in which the operating member can be depressed. A projecting portion is formed on one of the support member and the operating member, and a receiving portion is formed on the other of the support member and the operating member. The projecting portion and the receiving portion are coupled to each other to permit operation of the operating member, and constitute a holding mechanism which is constituted of only two members selected among the support member, the operating member, and the spring member.
