ABSTRACT:
A pedal arrangement in a vehicle cab including a support (5) fixed in the cab, in which a pedal arm (2) is mounted for pivoting about a pivot axis (4) spaced from both ends (2a,2b) of the pedal arm. At its upper end, the pedal arm is joined to one end of a flexible rod (12), such as a steel cable, which can transmit tensile force to an operating lever (11), but which bends if subjected to compressive force.
