Abstract
A work vehicle including a floor, a forward pedal arm, a reverse pedal arm, a forward rotation shaft, and a reverse rotation shaft. The floor has a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole. The forward pedal arm is placed in the first insertion hole and provided with a forward pedal. The reverse pedal arm is placed in the second insertion hole and provided with a reverse pedal. The forward rotation shaft serves as a rotation shaft of the forward pedal arm, and is oriented so that an outer end thereof is directed toward the rear of a vehicle body of the work vehicle. The reverse rotation shaft serves as a rotation shaft of the reverse pedal arm, and is oriented so that an outer end thereof is directed toward the rear of the vehicle body.
Claims8
A work vehicle comprising:
- a floor configured for a foot of an operator of the work vehicle to be placed thereon, the floor having a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole;
- a forward pedal arm placed in the first insertion hole and provided with a forward pedal;
- a reverse pedal arm placed in the second insertion hole and provided with a reverse pedal;
- a forward rotation shaft oriented at an outer end thereof toward a rear of a vehicle body of the work vehicle, the forward rotation shaft configured to serve as a rotation shaft of the forward pedal arm;
- a reverse rotation shaft oriented at an outer end thereof toward a rear of the vehicle body, the reverse rotation shaft configured to serve as a rotation shaft of the reverse pedal arm;
- a base portion attached to the floor and configured to support the forward pedal arm, the reverse pedal arm, the forward rotation shaft, and the reverse rotation shaft;
- a coupling link configured to rotate in a first direction when a first operating force is applied to the forward pedal and configured to rotate in a second direction when a second operating force is applied to the reverse pedal, the first direction opposite the second direction, the coupling link including a biasing member configured to bias the coupling link in the second direction when the first operating force is applied to the forward pedal and configured to bias the coupling link in the first direction when the second operating force is applied to the reverse pedal;
- and
- a transmission device configured to perform gear shift in accordance with an operating force applied to each of the forward pedal and the reverse pedal.
