Abstract
A structure for controlling the displacement of a vehicle pedal comprising: a pedal bracket fixed to a first vehicle body structural member which displaces in substantially the rearward direction of a vehicle when an external force of a predetermined value or more acts on the front portion of the vehicle; a suspended-type vehicle pedal which is swingably supported by the pedal bracket and which is provided with a treading surface at the bottom end thereof to which a treading force is applied by the foot of the driver; a treading force transmission member which transmits the treading force applied to the treading surface of the vehicle pedal towards a hydraulic conversion device; a linking device for linking the vehicle pedal and the treading force transmission member, which has a center of rotation of the link which is independent of the center of rotation of the vehicle pedal, and which presses the treading force transmission member, which is rotationally displaced around the center of rotation of the link in accordance with the swinging of the vehicle pedal, in the direction in which the pedal is operated when a treading force is applied to the treading surface of the vehicle ped…
