ABSTRACT:
A pedal module includes a double coil spring, a pedal, and a damping part. The double coil spring includes an outside coil and an inside coil. The pedal turns in a forward direction when a depressing force is applied thereto and turns in a reverse direction when a restoring force of the double coil spring is applied thereto. The damping part has an inserting portion disposed between the outside coil and the inside coil. The inserting portion includes a middle portion and a first side end portion disposed relative to each other in a width direction that corresponds to a circumferential direction of the double coil spring. The middle portion crosses a radial axis of the double coil spring and protrudes beyond the first side end portion toward an axial end of the double coil spring.
