Accelerator device

An accelerator device comprising:

• a case provided on a floor:
• a pad arranged outside the case to be stepped on by a driver:
• a pedal arranged in the case to be rotatable in an accelerator opening direction by a stepping force of the pad;
• an arm connecting the pad to the pedal, and
• a biasing member configured to bias the pedal in an accelerator closing direction, wherein one end of the arm is press-fitted into a connecting portion of the pad in a press-fitting direction,
• at least one of the arm of the pad is provided with a play removing part that is configured to eliminate a play between the one end of the arm and the connecting portion in the press-fitting direction by contacting the one end of the arm and the connecting portion, and
• the play removing part is configured to be plastically deformed and to absorb the play in the press-fitting direction between the one end of the arm and the connecting portion by plastically deforming when the one end of the arm is press-fitted into the connecting portion.
