Abstract

A pedal having a pivotably mounted pedal arm, which is prestressed into an initial position by means of a restoring-spring element designed as a leg spring, has a friction body which is prestressed against a friction surface by means of the restoring-spring element. The friction body is designed as an eccentric cam plate and thus, in addition to a hystersis, also permits a non-linear profile of the pedal-actuating force.
