Abstract
A brake lever support structure includes: a brake lever movable between a working position at which a parking brake of an off-road vehicle works and a cancel position at which the parking brake is cancelled; and an interior panel defining an inner surface of a cabin of the off-road vehicle. The brake lever extends from inside of the cabin to outside of the cabin through the interior panel. The interior panel includes a stopper that contacts the brake lever at the cancel position to restrict movement of the brake lever.
Claims15
A brake lever support structure comprising:
- a brake lever movable between a working position at which a parking brake of an off-road vehicle works and a cancel position at which the parking brake is cancelled;
- an interior panel defining an inner surface of a cabin of the off-road vehicle;
- and
- a grip disposed at an end portion of the brake lever in a length direction of the brake lever, the end portion being located inside the cabin, wherein
- the brake lever extends from inside of the cabin to outside of the cabin through the interior panel,
- the interior panel includes a panel body and a stopper that is disposed at the panel body and contacts the brake lever at the cancel position to restrict movement of the brake lever, and
- the grip does not contact the stopper when the brake lever is at the cancel position.

- a brake lever movable between a working position at which a parking brake of an off-road vehicle works and a cancel position at which the parking brake is cancelled;
- and
- an interior panel defining an inner surface of a cabin of the off-road vehicle, wherein
- the brake lever extends from inside of the cabin to outside of the cabin through the interior panel and moves between the working position and the cancel position along a predetermined first direction,
- the interior panel includes a stopper that contacts the brake lever at the cancel position to restrict movement of the brake lever,
- the stopper includes a restriction surface oblique to both the first direction and a second direction that is a direction intersecting the first direction, and
- the restriction surface is brought into contact with the brake lever at the cancel position to thereby restrict movement of the brake lever in both the first direction and the second direction.
