ABSTRACT:
A supporting structure of a pedal device for a vehicle including a pedal bracket and a displacement controlling device. The pedal bracket includes side plates and a rotating shaft portion disposed between the side plates. An assembly is provided proximate to the rotating shaft for holding the rotating shaft between the side plates. The assembly is provided within an elongated hole located on the side plates. A pedal support portion is provided about the rotating shaft portion and extends downward to a stepping surface. The pedal bracket is fixed to the vehicle. The displacement controlling device includes the side plates and a push plate disposed on the outside surfaces of the side plates. The push plates are coupled to the rotating shaft by the assembly. The push plates are guided within the elongated holes of the side plates when an external force of a predetermined value or greater is applied to the vehicle. The displacement controlling device also controls displacement of the stepping surface of the pedal device. The supporting structure allows the rotating shaft portion to move toward a rear of the vehicle when the external force is applied.
