Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A clevis pin (connecting pin) ( 26 ) is inserted into a clearance hole ( 72 ), and is displaceable relative to an operating pedal ( 16 ). A pivotal moving link ( 68 ) is disposed between the clevis pin ( 26 ) and a sensor pin ( 64 ) of a load sensor ( 30 ). A reaction force applied from the clevis pin ( 26 ) to the load sensor ( 30 ) always acts in a substantially constant direction (substantially leftward in FIG. 1 A) even if the operating pedal ( 16 ) and an operating rod ( 22 ) are pivoted relatively around the axis of the clevis pin ( 26 ) in accordance with the depressing operation of the operating pedal ( 16 ). Thus, the detecting accuracy of the load sensor ( 30 ) is heightened, and variation in detecting accuracy is prevented, rendering the high reliability.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicular operating pedal device with a load sensor, comprising: an operating pedal movably disposed on a pedal support fixed to a vehicle and depressed by a driver; a reaction force member to which an operating force of the operating pedal is transmitted and on which a reaction force corresponding to the operating force is acted; a pivotal movement connecting portion placed between the operating pedal and the reaction force member, connecting a pair o…
