Abstract
A vehicle securing arrangement, with a brake pedal which is articulated on a pedal bracket and which is connected to a braking device in a force-transmitting manner via an actuating rod. The braking device is arranged on a front side, relative to the vehicle, of a braking device support structure and the pedal bracket is arranged on a rear side, relative to the vehicle, of a pedal bracket support structure which is spaced from the braking device support structure by a longitudinal offset. The securing arrangement has at least one spacer which bridges the longitudinal offset between the brake device support structure and the pedal bracket support structure. The spacer is connected to a front joint, relative to the vehicle on the braking device, and to a rear joint, relative to the vehicle on the pedal bracket.
Claims17
A vehicle securing arrangement, with a brake pedal which is articulated on a pedal bracket and which is connected to a braking device in a force-transmitting manner via an actuating rod, wherein the braking device is arranged on a front side, relative to the vehicle, of a braking device support structure, and the pedal bracket is arranged on a rear side, relative to the vehicle, of a pedal bracket support structure which is spaced from the braking device support structure by a longitudinal offset,
- wherein the securing arrangement has at least one spacer which bridges the longitudinal offset between the brake device support structure and the pedal bracket support structure and which is connected at a first end thereof to the brake device support structure and which is connected at a second end thereof to the pedal bracket support structure, and that the spacer is connected to the brake device at a front joint, relative to the vehicle, and is connected to the pedal bracket at a rear joint, relative to the vehicle, so that, when the brake pedal is actuated, the spacer acts as a component-rigid tension anchor in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, which provides a tensile force path between the brake device and the pedal bracket, in which a compensating force counteracting the actuating force builds up.
