ABSTRACT:
An installation structure releases a brake pedal in a vehicle collision. A pedal arm has a groove coupled with a pipe. A front portion of the groove has a smaller width than the pipe. Alternatively, a pedal arm is hingedly mounted on a support member. A connector secures the pedal arm to the support member for normal operation, and permits separation of the pedal arm from the support member in response to a reward force resulting from a collision impact. The support member has a cylindrical member, and the pedal arm defines a forward facing opening, force-fit onto the cylindrical member. The opening has a width smaller than the cylindrical member. Alternatively, the connector has two support plates on a pipe of the cylindrical member, at both sides of the pedal arm. The plates have rear-facing grooves, and coupling members protruding from the pedal arm are received in the grooves.
