ABSTRACT:
A pedal support structure for a vehicle which can control the displacement of the pad of a vehicle pedal when an external force greater than a predetermined value acts on the vehicle from the front side thereof. The support structure includes a link support for supporting a swing-center shaft of a swing link connected to a brake booster, and a pedal support for supporting a rotation-center shaft of a brake pedal. The link support is connected to the pedal support in a separable manner. The swing link and the brake pedal are connected with each other via a connecting link such that a first connecting pin is located on the front side with respect to a line connecting the rotation-center shaft and the swing-center shaft. Accordingly, when an external force greater than the predetermined value acts on the front portion of the vehicle, the link support separates from the pedal support while turning, so that the distance between the rotation-center shaft and the swing-center shaft is increased. As a result, the first connecting pin is shifted toward the line, so that the pedal pad is moved substantially toward the front of the vehicle.
